Alcohol & Other Drug Education Presentation

Drug and alcohol use can be tricky to talk about. It’s a personal and sometimes sensitive issue. Understanding drugs and why people might use them can help start an open and supportive conversation.

Talking about it can feel overwhelming, and you may not know where to start.  When it comes to preparing your young person for situations when they may be around alcohol and other drugs talking about it – often – is key.

This event is free but registration is essential.
