Often as parents, all your focus and attention can go on making sure your young people are alright. Understandably, they are your first priority. But with this focus, it can be easy to lose sight of your own self-care needs.
Looking after your own mental health tends to come last on the long list of things to do. While this is understandable, it isn't sustainable or useful in the long run. To be able to support young people effectively, parents need to be in a good place themselves.

Lockdown has been very tough due to Covid-19. As restrictions ease, self-care really needs to be part of your weekly routine.

Be kind to yourself.

The target age range for most of the resources is young people aged 13-21 years. Some of the resources are available in both English and Irish.

Our journey begins in the very early years of development and continues into later childhood.

The days, weeks, months, and even years after birth have been described as 'unrememberable and unforgettable', because although we cannot consciously remember these experiences, they are built into our being, our present and our future. As we begin to develop in childhood, we are learning and forming a self, starting to understand the world around us and beginning the process of internalising some of this outside world into our own minds.

In childhood, we acquire cognitive, social and emotional skills that shape our future mental health and are vitally important as we move into adolescence and adulthood.
Attachment Theory
A key psychological theory for this stage is called 'attachment theory', which emerged from the work of John Bowlby and Mary Ainsworth in the earlier part of the last century. As humans we are designed to need attachments or close emotional bonds with others. Attachment theory argues that a safe, consistent and reliable caregiver can support a child in developing a secure attachment style, which will act as a solid bedrock for future life relationships, including how the person relates to themselves. If early relationships are less reliable, an insecure attachment style can develop. This may be because caregivers are overwhelmed with their own difficulties or circumstances, or they are neglectful or abusive towards the child.

An insecure attachment style can make it challenging for a child to build trusting relationships in childhood and into adulthood. This can then lead to conflict in adult relationships, difficulties with self-esteem and self-worth and contribute to the risk of developing a mental health problem. However, it is important to note that a significant body of research indicates that if a child has at least one consistent and trusted adult in their lives (not necessarily the primary caregiver), this can support the development of a secure attachment style. Also, positive attachment relationships later in life can be very protective and open new ways of relating to others.
Impact of the environment and early experiences
When it comes to a child's wellbeing, environmental factors play a significant role - these factors can be broadly attributed to a child's physical, home, social, socioeconomic and in recent years digital environments. Depending on the quality of these environments, they can promote positive mental health or adversely affect a child's development. It's important not to underestimate the impact of these early experiences and how they can contribute to future mental health difficulties - for example, painful or challenging experiences in childhood can influence how we see ourselves, the world and other people.

The Government, through its 2013 "Tobacco Free Ireland" Policy, set a target of a smoking prevalence of 5% by 2025. In 2022, the smoking prevalence was 18%, down from 23% in 2015 when the Healthy Ireland surveys first began, however smoking prevalence has remained stalled at 18% in Ireland in the last three years. Tobacco Free Ireland states that "the protection of children must be prioritised in all of the initiatives outlined in the policy" and that "denormalisation must be a complementary underpinning theme for all of the initiatives within the policy".
It discussed electronic-cigarettes (e-cigarettes), which were emerging in Ireland at the time the policy was developed. It noted "a dearth of reliable evidence regarding the safety and effectiveness of some of these products as a smoking cessation product" and "growing concern internationally about the quality, safety and 'regulatory gap' of these emerging products".

The document here, describes the HSE's joint response to concerns around children and young people using e-cigarettes.

Students in their early teenage years are on the cusp of making choices that could have a significant impact on their health and well-being in the long term. While it is normal for young people to want to experiment with tobacco, e-cigarettes, alcohol or other drugs, their views and understanding of substance use will already be influenced by the adult world around them. It is beneficial to equip students with the knowledge, attitudes, and skills they need prior to the situation arising where they may decide to experiment, or may feel curiosity or pressure to try tobacco, e-cigarettes, alcohol or other drugs. Engaging in discussions about substance use in school and at home can have a valuable influence to help guide and support them in their decision making.

Quit4Youth Programme

Quit4Youth is a seven-week, group stop smoking programme developed specifically for young people. The programme offers behavioural support in a fun, educational and non-judgmental manner. The aim for young people attending the programme is to quit smoking. Please note that while we have confidence in the underpinning evidence in terms of what works to support smoking cessation we do not have access to robust evidence in the cessation of vaping. However, while behavioural support for quitting smoking and medicines for managing nicotine withdrawal have not been developed or tested for stop vaping use, first principles would suggest that they could be useful as a stop vaping aid. We know these medicines have a well-established safety profile, and behavioural supports and techniques for addiction and health behaviour change have been applied successfully to multiple health behaviours. There should be consultation between the young person, GPs and parents/guardians so that they can discuss the pros and cons of using any medication.

You can access the resources for the Quit4Youth Programme here. If you wish to contact local stop smoking services click here.

Parents / Caregivers

Parents/caregivers play a critical role in teaching their children about consent. Speaking openly and honestly with your children can help them develop healthy relationships with others as they grow up.

Parents / Caregivers

If you are the parent/caregiver of a secondary-school age student, you will be able to avail of a parents' seminar if our Active* Consent Schools Workshop is programmed at your school. Learn more here "

Part of being able to speak with them is educating yourself about the experiences of young people today as well as basic definitions of consent, sexual violence and harassment.

We also give you access here to materials that we've developed for college staff, students and student leaders. These materials will:

Familiarise you with basic definitions of consent, sexual violence and harassment

Give you access to data on consent attitudes and rates of sexual violence and harassment for college-age students

Parents / Caregivers FAQ's

At what age can I start talking to my children about consent?

It is never too early to talk to your child about consent and it doesn't have to be about sexual consent. Consent is also about negotiation of physical boundaries, touch and comfort levels in a more general way, and it is important to begin building this awareness with your child as soon as possible so that they can feel empowered to communicate actively about what they feel comfortable with.

How do I start the conversation?

It may feel daunting at first to start the conversation, but there are ways to introduce your child to the topic of consent from a young age:

Instead of telling them to hug/kiss a relative, let them decide what touch they're comfortable with.

Teach them to ask other people before touching them e.g. "Can I hug you?"

Teach them that nobody has the right to touch them without their permission.

The Covid-19 pandemic has also given us a heightened awareness of consent and non-sexual physical touch (hugging, shaking hands, holding hands, etc). You can use this example to introduce the topic of consent and physical touch.

For teenagers, it may feel easier to discuss this topic when you're not face-to-face, such as when driving in a car.

It can also be helpful to let these conversations arise in reaction to something, such as a news story, or a scene in a TV series or film. Reacting to something in the moment can help these discussions feel more organic, and less awkward.

How should I talk to my child/teenager about consent and intimate image-sharing?

Intimate image-sharing refers to sharing of nudes and/or sexual images between consenting individuals over the age of 17 for the purposes of sexual stimulation. When an intimate image is shared without an individual's consent and/or with the intent to cause harm and/or with recklessness about the harm this sharing could cause to that individual, it is called intimate image abuse. This is illegal under Irish law since 2020 under "Coco's Law." Intimate image abuse is sometimes referred to as IBSA (image-based sexual abuse) or "revenge porn" (which should be avoided as it indirectly places blame back on the victim).

As a parent of a minor child or young adult, it is important to:

1. Know the law on consent and sharing of intimate images. Intimate image-sharing without consent is illegal in Ireland but as a parent, you should also be aware that intimate image-sharing by someone under 17 EVEN with another minor is also illegal.

2. Discuss the law with your child/teenager. Share the basics of the law with your child/teenager: sharing intimate images without consent is illegal and the focus of the law is on the behaviour of the person sharing the images non-consensually. The law still applies if someone didn't intend to cause harm but were only reckless in doing so (for example, forwarding an image that had been sent by someone else). You can also address the age of consent in Ireland as part of this conversation and how it relates to the sharing of intimate images even between minors.

3. Listen without judgement if your child/teenager shares an incident with you. If your child/teenager tells you about someone else's picture/text being shared in school or within their group of friends - be empathetic. It is important to avoid victim blaming and instead focus on the behavior of the person who non-consensually shared the images. If it is your child/teenager who has experienced the incident, you may have a lot of complicated feelings as a parent/caregiver but the same guidance applies- be empathetic and focus on the behavior of the person who shared the images as you support your child/teenager in healing from the incident.

Know how to report and where to direct a child/teenager for support if they experience this crime. You can visit our "Get Help" page for information on how to report intimate image abuse as a mandated person and/or parent/caregiver and for direction to further support services.

Inadequate funding means that CARI's services are limited. However, we aim to provide a service throughout Ireland and have already launched our first outreach centre in the south east. We believe children, teenagers and families affected by child sexual abuse should not have to travel more than an hour to access therapy services.

In order to reach this level of service, we need more State funding and help from the community to raise money to meet the funding shortfall.
