In this episode of the HSE Talking Health and Wellbeing podcast, we are joined by Professor Bobby Smyth and Senior Counsellor, Emer Loughrey, to discuss the updated HSE Alcohol and Drugs: A Parent's Guide. They explore how parents can approach conversations about substance use with their children, covering current trends among young people in Ireland, the risks of adolescent substance use, and the importance of setting clear boundaries. The guests share their expertise and experience in this area and offer practical, reassuring advice on building trust, staying consistent, and being a positive role model.
