Off to a significant discussion?

In just a few moments I will head over to a boardroom in our local hospital.  Health Canada is sponsoring a forum discussion time – particularly aimed at working with parents to prevent drug use among youth. 

The preparation materials have been interesting – pointing out that there is a problem.  At one point, they mention that overly stressing this point makes teens think this is alright – everyone else is doing it.  Other points include the fact that parents do hold a large place of influence in a youth’s life.

Those attending are expected to be front end personnel.  Those who deal directly with abuse in our society. 

As I say – should be interesting.  There will, I’m sure be much discussion.  The same discussion we have had a number of times in this community.  I wonder what points of action we will be able to implement today?

    I echo Colleen’s sentiment and hope that a new awareness can be realized in our community. A serious need is for parents to indeed take a pro-active role in their children’s lives and activities. I would that God can have a stronger hold on more people in order to get a hold on this problem.
