Age 13 is the tipping point at which our kids look away from parents towards their friends and peers. We need to engage children before they begin drinking or experimenting and help them build their resilience skills, know how to avoid risky situations, learn how to look after themselves and each other and avoid slipping into situations that can run out of control. s. Alcohol and drug Education is normally taught through Science and Relationship, Social, Health and Economic education (RSHEe). Teachers are usually non specialist and so we support them with the resources ,training and ongoing support Parents and carers We help parents to talk about alcohol, vaping and cannabis, how to be good role models and set boundaries and protect their chidlren. Parents are the biggest influence on they're kids, even if it doesn't feel like it.
