The ‘Let’s Learn about Drugs & Alcohol Together’ (LLADAT) Projects began in September 2012.

The LLADAT afterschool programme allows parents and young people to learn more about drugs and raise alcohol awareness. As a key objective, the LLADAT endeavours to nurture protective factors relating to the parent-child relationship, while creating a shared dialogue where clear messages surrounding alcohol awareness and drug education can take place. The concept of shared learning experiences is central. A relatively new approach as traditionally, parents and adolescents were addressed as separate groups in the past. The LLADAT afterschool programme is currently delivered in over 54% of the post-primary junior cycle education providers across the mid-west.

The programme will be delivered at Castletroy College on Wednesday 5th and 12th February at 7.30pm.
