P&F Forum with Paul Dillon
Teens, parties, gatherings and alcohol: What do parents need to know?
Wednesday 20 July 2022
The Daphne Line Hall
6.30pm–8pm
MLC School invites parents to attend the P&F Forum with Paul Dillon.
Paul is the Director and founder of DARTA and he is passionate about ensuring that the community has access to accurate and up-to-date alcohol and other drug information.
A respected front-line campaigner Paul answers the real and most commonly asked questions about alcohol and drugs, and shows how parents can get these important conversations started with their kids.
During adolescence, teens develop a biological need to be around friends and it is important to provide them with opportunities to socialise with their peers whenever possible. Using the most current data this presentation will examine the use of alcohol and other drugs by school-based young people.
Some simple strategies will be provided to help ensure teens are able to interact with friends on a Saturday night and, at the same time, reduce the risk of underage drinking and the potential dangers associated with such behaviour.
This is catered to parents of girls in Year 6 to Year 9. It aims to empower parents with a positive message and assist them in having open and honest family discussions in this complex area.
