Intent

Develop your skills and knowledge to help you to be more active in the support of your children’s learning and development; and positively impact on your life and that of your family.

Course Content

Drugs and alcohol awareness workshop for parents: The world for pre-teens and teens is a very different place when it comes to drugs and alcohol than it was for their parents’ generation, and very few will reach the end of their school and college years without having to make a decision about drugs. This 1.5 hour workshop will explore the issues they face and how their parents and carers can support them to make these choices as safely as they can.

Who is this course for?

Parents and carers of children at Hoe Valley Secondary School

What can I expect to learn and how will I know how I am doing?

This workshop will involve finding out about current issues for young people in relation to drugs and alcohol, decision-making and adolescent brain development, practical strategies and advice, and how to have effective conversations at home about drugs.
