We had a special presentation last night here at OCS so that parents could get together to hear about the latest trends in drug and alcohol abuse by young people today and to be able to discuss ideas they have with other parents. While it was very disheartening to see how few parents came out to take advantage of this opportunity, it was good to share ideas with others. As the parent of children who are older, I remember the conversations and the lessons we shared with our children. I also was thankful that the message we were talking to our children about was being reinforced in their schools.
Here at OCS we spend time each year discussing the dangers of abusing drugs and alcohol so that we can act in partnership with our community. The world is a difficult place for kids to grow up --and the dangers and pressures of alcohol and drug use are issues they will face. Hopefully we have all helped them to make the right choices. Hope may be all we have in this fight!
till next time...
