You may have read about Addaction  in the ‘Real Lives’ section of today’s Daily Mirror.

On our site, you can find out about our work with young people and with families.

You can also find if we have a service local to you.

We also produce information which you may find helpful. “Know what you’re talking about” is a new guide for familes.

It provides basic information and advice to parents and carers whose teenage children may be experimenting with drugs or alcohol.

It contains information on what to do in an emergency, how to talk about drugs with your teenage child and he effects (and legal status) of the most widely used drugs.

Addaction recognises that many parents don’t feel confident talking about drugs with their teenage children. But we also know that discussing the subject as a family can help stop young people getting into trouble. This guide gives parents basic information to make them more confident about raising the issue.
