Committee on Drugs Use

Intergenerational Trauma: Discussion

2:00 am

Ms Caroline O'Reilly:

There is a gap with parents as regards their education around their own substance misuse. There can be normalisation of cannabis or alcohol at home that might send conflicting messages to children about whatever drugs prevention education they are doing. There is a broader case to be addressed with adults as well to complement that piece of work.
