The Things We Don't Talk About
KIDS HAVE QUESTIONS. Do you have the answers?
Through Brescia's story of her experiences, she hopes to empower individuals with more insight to be able to have proper conversations with their children and those vulnerable to addiction about the dangers of drugs and alcohol use, recovery drugs and alcohol and preparing them to make safer and healthier choices.
The three most dangerous words a parent can say ...
... NOT MY CHILD.
It's a phrase Brescia has heard too often. Of course, the hope is that no child ever goes down the path of drug experimentation or suicide, but the reality is very different from our hopes.
Children are faced with all kinds of challenges and pressures on their journey, especially during their transition from primary school to high school. The reality is that so many of us accept the premise that our children are fully prepared for the unfortunate day they are introduced to something harmful.
When this day comes, it is Brescia's hope that her story has made enough of an impact to help children avoid walking down a path that all too often ends in tragedy.
We need to talk to our children.
