Description
When a young person faces a decision about drugs, it's often a moment that can have lasting consequences. This book explores the risks and effects of substances commonly encountered by teenagers, as well as the legal pitfalls that may follow.
The author, Fiona Spargo-Mabbs, co-founder of the Daniel Spargo-Mabbs Foundation, shares her personal experience of losing her son to a fatal overdose at just 16. She wishes she had known more about how to support him during his teenage years and now writes this book as a guide for parents and young people navigating similar situations.
With practical strategies for staying safe, information on reducing harm, and 'talking points' providing ideas for important conversations, I Wish I'd Known offers valuable insight into the adolescent brain's decision-making process and how to manage these often tricky years.
