Parent/Carer Drug and Alcohol Workshop: Starting Secondary School

Is your child starting secondary or senior school in September? Then this webinar is for you. The DSM Foundation's team will take parents and caregivers through what they need to know to help their child prepare for the transition for secondary school, as they will be encountering very different situations to those they have been in before, including some involving alcohol and drugs. The session will include some basic staying safe strategies young people can put in place straightaway (many using their phones), and tips on how parents and caregivers can approach conversations on what can seem tricky topics. Don't miss out!

This session, provided by The Daniel Spargo-Mabbs Foundation, provides a great opportunity for you as a parent/carer to become more aware of drug-related issues and what you can do to help your children to stay safer. The Daniel Spargo-Mabbs Foundation is a drug and alcohol education charity set up by Fiona and Tim Spargo-Mabbs in 2014 after the tragic death of their 16-year-old son Daniel as a result of taking ecstasy. The aim of the charity is to support young people to make safer choices about drugs,
