What is talk to frank?

Talk to Frank is a national drug education campaign launched in the United Kingdom in 2003. Its aim is to provide free, confidential advice and information to young people and their families about drugs and alcohol. The campaign is mostly targeted at teenagers, with the message that if they have any questions or concerns about drug use, they should contact Frank. The service was initially a telephone helpline, but has since expanded to include a website, text messaging, email, and social media. Talk to Frank is operated by the British government's Department of Health and is staffed by trained drug advisors. The campaign has been praised for its non-judgmental approach and for providing accurate information and advice on drug use. However, there has been some criticism of the campaign's effectiveness and of the government's handling of drug education more generally.
