The overdose crisis has had a huge impact on young people across the country, and parents may be feeling helpless as to what they can do to keep their kids safe from the very real harms of problematic substance use and addiction. It’s vitally important to reduce the harm that drugs can cause to those who use, and drug education has a very important place in the prevention of early substance use. Chantal Vallerand says it all in this segment of Conversations That Matter with Stuart McNish, recorded in Vancouver last month. At Drug Free Kids Canada/Jeunesse sans drogue Canada , we aim to empower parents to have informed, open and honest conversations about drug use with their kids, providing evidence-based information on drugs and encouraging strong family connections, both on our website and through our educational webinars. Our upcoming informational and free webinar for parents and professionals working with children provides a spotlight on the overdose crisis: Wednesday, July 24th at 1pm - 2:30 Register here: https://ow.ly/Pijs50SzcBO #youthanddrugs #drugprevention #supportparents #supportfamilies
On Dec 8th, 2022, Jennifer Whiteside was appointed Minister for Mental Health and Addictions. At the time she said, “The Premier has asked me to prioritize accelerating BC’s response to the illicit drug toxicity crisis. The Premier has also asked me to expand new complex care, treatment, recovery, detox and after-care facilities across the province.” Months later, the BC Centre for Disease Control released its report showing that in 2022, overdoses from opioids and illicit drugs were now the leading cause of death for youth 10 to 18 years old. The Minister issued a statement saying, “The toxic drug crisis continues to have a devastating impact on families and communities in B.C., and the impact on children, youth is heartbreaking,” These are hollow words to Garth Mullins, an organizer with the Vancouver Area Network of Drug Users, who said, “It seems to me that the Minister’s job is to be the official mourner – someone who is there to cry publicly about the mass deaths but isn’t empowered.” So where does a family turn when they need help? Chantal Vallerand, the Executive Director at Drug Free Kids Canada, says, “We know how difficult it is for families. Most don’t know the boundaries of what they can and cannot say or do. We created Drug Free Kids to help parents facing the life and death reality of drugs where there is no margin for error.” We invited Chantal Vallerand of Drug Free Kids Canada/Jeunesse sans drogue Canada to join us for a Conversation That Matters about resources and strategies that can and do help families address the growing drug crisis in Canada.
