It’s an awkward conversation isn’t it? Talking to your children about drugs! Here’s the issue though… 50% of young people wouldn’t initiate a conversation with their parents about drugs. Clearly then, we can’t bury our heads in the sand, we need to take the initiative. But, where to start?
Let’s Talk About Drugs is an evening, hosted by Hope UK (the Christian Drug Education Charity), intended to equip parents, with children of all ages (it’s really important to start the conversation early), to know how to;
- Identify drug-using behaviour in your children
- Speak to your children about drugs (or anything else for that matter; the skills are transferrable).
- Equip them to make drug-free choices.
The evening will include interactive activities, led by experts, and resources to take away with you.
This is the third of four training weekends for a new group of volunteers. Located throughout the UK, our volunteers travel to London to train. (We pay travel, accommodation, food etc). All our training for our volunteers is accredited by OCN London. If you would like to train as a volunteer, please contact s.brighton@hopeuk.org.
This is the final weekend training for the volunteers who started last September – a new course starts next week!
Our volunteers attend four weekends to learn how to deliver drug prevention activities, work with young people and make a difference in their communities. This is the first weekend for a new group of volunteers.
