Dear Parent/Carer
Drugs Information Evening - Wednesday 11th December 6.30-7.30pm
We have engaged the services of Insight Platform who offer drugs and alcohol counselling to young people. On Wednesday evening they will give a presentation and hold a Q&A with parents and carers. This is a repeat presentation of the one they delivered for us in January 2019.
We hope that many of you will take the opportunity to attend and gain some valuable advice and support in dealing with what can be a very difficult subject to broach.
Insight will discuss with you:
· Signs and symptoms of substance use (individual and group warning signs, drug paraphernalia etc.)
· Why young people use substances
· Harm reduction
· How to speak to young people about drugs
· Barriers to communication
Followed by a Q&A
We look forward to seeing you there.
Yours faithfully,
Ms K Sullivan
Deputy Head
