Shankill community launch new guide for parents to highlight signs of drug use

A new support network is helping to educate parents on drug use and to offer a platform of support in times of need.

Set up by the Greater Shankill Youth Connects group, the online guide is there to help support parents in navigating the topic with their children, how to spot signs of potential use, having the conversation and where to get help.

Speaking to Belfast Live Sarah Jane Waite, from the Greater Shankill Partnership, said through their work with young people, they know that parents are usually the first point of contact in these situations - but some may not know how to tackle a conversation which relates to drugs.
