Drugs and Alcohol
National statistics show that fewer young people use drugs and alcohol than five years ago, the vast majority not seeing or feeling the need for any artificial stimulation.
What is of concern however is that the age of first use has dropped and some children are using drugs or alcohol at a much younger age which has a far greater impact on a child’s long and short term health.
