Parent Information Session: Drug and Alcohol Research Training Australia (DARTA) Date: Tuesday 10th September (Week 9) Time: 6.30pm – 8.00pm Venue: KR Centre Presenter: Paul Dillon Many parents, like their children, access information on drugs from inappropriate sources such as the media and as a result there is a great deal of mythology around drugs and their use. This presentation, based on Paul Dillon’s new book ‘Teenagers, Alcohol and Drugs’, will attempt to give accurate, up-to-date information on what is known about young people, alcohol and drugs in Australia. The presentation aims to empower parents with some basic information about current trends in alcohol and other drugs by examining the questions young people really want and need answers to. This will assist parents to have meaningful conversations with their child when responding to queries that may be raised. The presenter, Paul Dillon, has been working in the area of drug education for the past 25 years. For the past 16 years he has worked at the National Drug and Alcohol Research Centre, Sydney where his key role was to disseminate research findings to policy makers, drug and alcohol workers and the general public. Through his own business, Drug and Alcohol Research and Training Australia (DARTA) he has been contracted by many agencies and organisations across the country to give regular updates on current drug trends within the community. He has also worked with many school communities to ensure that they have access to good quality information and best practice drug education. With a broad knowledge on a range of content areas, Paul regularly provides media comment and is regarded as a key social commentator in Australia, appearing on a wide range of television programs including Sunrise, TODAY and the 7PM Project discussing topical issues.
