Teenage parties provide young people with valuable opportunities to develop a range of social skills that they need to relate effectively with their peers. As they get older alcohol is likely to become a part of these social gatherings and, unfortunately, things can go wrong. Using the latest research, this presentation will examine what we know about school-based young people and alcohol use and its use at parties. It will also provide some practical strategies and simple tips for parents considering allowing their teen to attend such an event to help ensure they are as safe as possible.

Please note that this is a parents only seminar. Students from Years 10-12 will hear directly from Paul Dillon on the day.
