Talk on Alcohol and Drug Abuse
Peter Lovick, from the NGO Living Grace, spent a morning with our community health workers recently, discussing alcohol and drug abuse. It was so useful to gain greater insight into this terrible problem which devastates families and communities across the Western Cape. We learnt all about stimulants, depressants and hallucinogens, and were challenged to consider whether our children’s attitude to mind altering substances is not strongly linked to observed behaviour in adults. Perhaps our children just need better role models? Many thanks to Peter for coming all the way from Muizenberg, and for the incredible work you do with addicts.
