Talking to Kids about Drugs:

While we understand that this may not be a comfortable conversation to have with your children, we encourage you to talk with your son or daughter about any questions and/or feelings they may have about drug and alcohol use. Please take a moment to read the attached documents for more information.

  1. Let’s Talk – Speaking to our kids about substance use, Island Health
  2. Xanax Among Teens: what we need to know, Island Health
  3. Talking with teenagers about drugs, Health Canada

We know that students learn in many different ways. By approaching these types of conversations holistically, we hope that our students/your children will have the tools they need to make healthy behavioral choices.
