What to do if your teen has a drug problem
According to an NHS survey published in 2017, secondary school children in the UK are now more likely to have tried illegal substances than cigarettes, with cannabis being the main drug of choice. The research also found that 25% of 15-year-olds had tried recreational drugs at least once, down from 30% in 2014.

How to ask kids about their health
We all know the different feelings that come with being unwell. As adults, we can quickly diagnose ourselves with a cold, stomach ache or sore throat. We usually know when we need to curl up with a paracetamol and a hot drink, or when we need to call the doctor. But working out whether our children are unwell can be very difficult.
