The talks can also run remotely, delivering the same level of impact and interaction.
A Slow Crash
Problems with addiction are often portrayed to young people in a dramatised and sensationalised way. The focus is on the consequences not the causes. This can make it feel like it is something that will never happen to them.
Iain has the background and experience to connect with young people as they consider the difficult subject of addiction. He uses his personal experience to illustrate that the journey into addiction can be one of small, but increasingly painful, steps.
We Need To Talk
Privately educated pupils face a number of significant challenges: academic pressure, competition, expectations and social pressure compounded by social media.
During adolescence, statistically, this will drive around 1 in 6 to become increasingly dependent on a substance or behaviour. The prospect of contending with addiction is daunting for any parent or teacher.
This talk explains addiction in detail, the signs to look for, and appropriate responses and actions to help keep young people safe.
What About The Boys?
Addressing the key challenges of modern adolescence and the transition into adulthood. Topics covered include mental health, dating and relationships, pornography, status and physical appearance.
