How to talk about drugs
Expert: Dr Paula Corcoran
Masterclass structure: 15 lessons (46:10 minutes)
About this class
I don’t know about you but the thought of my children using drugs terrifies me. This is why I whole heartedly recommend our new masterclass. You will find useful information about how and when to discuss drugs with your child, signs that can tell you if your child is using, or how to react if you find your child using drugs. This is a very tricky topic, and we hope that this masterclass will make you feel more secure when discussing it.
