If you mean, “Will parents be more effective at influencing their children’s choices in relation to drug use? The answer is YES!

Through this program parents will:

• Develop home-based strategies to help their children make informed choices about drug use.

• Be better informed of current drug use in our society and its related harm.

• Spend time examining their own beliefs, attitudes and behaviours about drug use.

• Gain invaluable information and access to local support.

 During the six weeks we will cover topics such as :- 

           Drugs! Just How Bad Is It

           Why Kids Take Drugs

           How To Educate Kids to Make Good Choices

           Prevention Tools For Parents

           Learning to Intervene and Where to Get Help

           A Parents Guide To Handling Relapse.

  Quotes from those who have attended the program :-  

“I strongly believe that this is a program that will benefit parents in the education of why children get involved in the use of alcohol and drugs and may assist in preventing the spread of drug abuse.          (Parent of an Addict)                  

"The course pointed out aspects of parenting which I had not previously considered which could have a positive influence on my children".   (Local Parent)                        

“The program provides a well-structured, high quality medium through which to address our two core areas of concern. It also dove tails beautifully with the ethos underpinning existing developments such as the health promoting schools initiative and the ongoing development of the very best in drug education in our primary and secondary schools”                                                                                           (Strathclyde Police Drug Awareness Officer)
