Now What? A beginning conversation to support families when our kids begin experimenting with substances

Learning that our kids are using substances can be scary. Our fears about substance use can affect how we react. This is a beginning conversation to help parents self-reflect on how they show up to talk to their kids about their substance use.

Join us while Victoria Keddis hosts a conversation with Douglas Hardie, Registered Clinical Counsellor and Program Coordinator of Island Health’s Child, Youth and Family Mental Health and Substance Use Programs.

Come together with other families to watch this video presentation followed by a discussion facilitated by the Family Peer Support Workers in Richmond.

This in-person event will be hosted at MacNeill Secondary School (library), 6611 No 4 Rd, Richmond.

This event is an informal opportunity for families to connect and learn with other Richmond families.  

The event is free. We ask that you please register as the school is generously offering us space, and we want to make sure we are ready to welcome you.

Doors will open at 6:15pm and the video presentation will begin at 6:30pm.
