Inspire - Parent Education

The John XXIII College Parents' Association funds a program of speakers and educators to discuss a range of relevant social issues affecting young people and their families. With travel restrictions in place this year we haven’t been able to bring expects to the College, but there are presentations organised that we’d like to promote. 

Claire Eaton is a Perth based expert, and she’ll be presenting a seminar at Churchlands Senior High School. Justin Coulson and Paul Dillon, who have previously presented to our students and parents, are hosting online seminars. They are all experts in their field, incredible presenters, and we hope that they are of value to you and your family.

Paul Dillon webinar: Young people, alcohol and other drugs 2021: What do parents need to know?

Socialising with peers is an important part of adolescent development and COVID-19 and the resulting restrictions continue to impact Australian young people and their families in this area. 

This webinar will discuss changes in the way teens appear to be socialising, as well as a number of alcohol and other drugs (AOD) issues that anecdotal evidence suggest, are on the rise, i.e., 'vaping', nitrous oxide or 'nanging' and cannabis. It will also provide information on how drugs are now being bought and sold, i.e., online sales via social media apps and home delivery. Some simple strategies to assist parents when their teens wish to socialise with their friends will also be provided. Finally, the session aims to empower parents with a positive message and assist them in having open and honest family discussions in this complex area.
