Parental substance use and young people's resilience

Findings from a recent research project exploring young people’s experiences and impacts of living with parental substance misuse.

What is the aim of this event?

To share findings from a recent research project aimed at exploring young people’s experiences and impacts of living with parental substance misuse. In addition, we will explore ideas for how we can best support young people whose parents drink alcohol or use drugs.

This event will bring together practitioners, policymakers, and academics for open discussion and workshop activities. In breakout rooms, you will be asked to provide feedback on the findings presented and discuss what intervention in this area would involve, and who would deliver it.

• Commissioners and practitioners in Local Authority and other organisations who plan, commission, scrutinise or provide local health and wellbeing initiatives with young people and young adults in mind.
