3.4: Drugs, alcohol and making safer choices, with author Fiona Spargo-Mabbs.

This is the 4th episode in my summit. Fiona explains that teenagers still say their first point of call for information around substance use/misuse is you- their parent. Fiona talks shares different ways we can talk to our teenagers about drugs and alcohol.

Fiona Spargo-Mabbs is Director and Founder of The Daniel Spargo-Mabbs Foundation, a drug and alcohol education charity which she set up in 2014 in response to the death of her 16-year-old son Daniel having taken ecstasy. Her book for parents on young people, drugs and decisions, ‘I wish I’d known’, was published by Sheldon Press in May 2021. Fiona brings to this work a wide range and depth of experience from many years of working in education at operational and strategic management levels locally and nationally, specialising in work with parents and families. The DSM Foundation aims to support young people to make safe choices and reduce harm, through increasing their understanding of the effects and risks of drugs and alcohol, and improving their life skills & resilience. They work with young people, parents, teachers and professionals, in schools, colleges and communities across the UK. Fiona’s passionate commitment to do all she can to prevent what happened to her son happening to anyone else drives everything she does.
