Synopsis

Parent Guides are a resource that create trust, credibility and confidence in families to deal with issues affecting young people, in this case using and abusing drugs. We want to encourage open and honest conversations between parents, carers, teachers and young people, to educate and minimise harm. Drugs 101 aims to empower adults with information and strategies to help guide those important discussions. Drugs 101 explains what drugs are, who takes them and how to educate kids about them. It covers everything from marijuana to ecstasy and heroin, profiles former users, speaks to experts who help those with drug problems and provides links to useful resources and services.
