The journey of parenting isn't always smooth sailing, especially when you are grieving. It's crucial to recognize that you don't have to face this by yourself. Your community is equipped with a wide range of support networks that are ready to lend a helping hand.

Parenting can be challenging at times, particularly when you are juggling multiple responsibilities. It's important to remember that you are not alone. There are resources and supports available within your community. Don't hesitate to reach out if you find yourself in need.

Vaping has become part of society yet we know little about the impact it is having on health & wellbeing. Today we are announcing funding for a project on vaping to help understand the impact. We cannot ignore it & turn a blind eye to health impacts for our people

[Nicki Killeen @nickikilleen]

We're currently looking for young people aged between 18 -24 years old who socialise in Dublin nightlife to help with focus groups.

The main aim will be to discuss intersectional issues relating to gender, safety, violence and substance use.

Why are Drugs so Hard to Quit?

Good 4 minute video from @NIDAnews explaining effects of drug use on the brain

Discusses how these impacts can make it hard to stop drug use, even when we know it is causing harms

[Bobby Smyth @BobbySmyth4]

No drug causing more addiction than cannabis in Europe now (~1.7-4 million with CUD), but @EMCDDA posit that ~97,000 people (~2-6%) seems confused that so many seek treatment

Really!

Our target should be ~10% accessing treatment per annum
