How to Drug Proof Your Kids® facilitator training

Are you concerned about drug and alcohol misuse among children today? Do you want to do something about it?
How to Drug Proof Your Kids® (logo)With your help, Care for the Family wants to enable parents to feel more confident, skilled and better equipped to help their children make good lifestyle choices when it comes to alcohol and drugs. And this is why we introduced How to Drug Proof Your Kids® (DPYK) – the popular drugs education programme for parents – to the UK in 2003.

“We need your help!”
Photo of three teenagersThousands of parents have been helped by this innovative parenting programme. But there’s still so much more that we want to do. And that’s where we need your help. You can become a Care for the Family licensed facilitator – and offer parents a realistic plan to steer their children away from the harmful use of drugs and alcohol.

You don’t need to be a drugs or parenting ‘expert’, as we will equip you with all the materials and knowledge you need to deliver the programme in your community. All you need is a concern for families, an ability to communicate well, experience of working with small groups, and character references.

During the two days, you will learn about:
  • Drugs: just how bad is it?
  • Why kids take drugs
  • How to educate kids to make good choices
  • Prevention tools for parents
  • Learning to intervene – and where to get help
  • A parent’s guide to handling relapse
You can find out more about DPYK by visiting www.dpyk.org.uk

Ongoing support
We don’t forget you once the course is over. You’ll receive regular free newsletters and ongoing support through freephone helplines to Care for the Family and Hope UK, a national drugs education charity that works with us on this programme.
