`How to Drug Proof Your Kids’ is a Prevention Program
Is it possible to Drug Proof Your Kids? If you mean, “Can parents stop their children from trying tobacco, alcohol or illicit drugs?” the answer is NO.
If you mean, “Will parents be more effective at influencing their children’s choices in relation to drug use? The answer is YES!
DPYK equips and empowers parents to engage with their children on the topic of drugs and alcohol. The programme is about prevention. When parents feel more confident, skilled and better equipped, they can help their children make healthy lifestyle choices in this area. Even though often they don’t believe it, parents are the greatest influencers of their children. And even though they sometimes don't show it, children will look, listen and learn!
If you are interested in attending a DPYK programme please contact us.
