HHC is a new drug chemically related to the cannabis plant. It was recently controlled after being widely available in high street shops and online. This webinar is designed to support parents who are concerned about young people’s use of vapes containing psychoactive substances and related drugs. It will also provide an overview of current cannabis-related substances, emerging trends, and other drugs of concern.

The episode introduces the HSE’s Take a Deep Breath campaign, which aims to support parents, schools and communities with up to date, evidence based information on vaping and nicotine products. Martina and Kirsty share practical tips on starting conversations with teenagers, watching out for signs of dependence, and knowing where and when to seek extra help.

The number of people being diagnosed with skin cancer in Ireland is rising.

Skin cancer is largely preventable by protecting skin from UV rays and not using sunbeds.

UV exposure is cumulative — every unprotected exposure your skin is exposed to increases your risk of skin damage and skin cancer.

Protecting your skin from the sun whether at home or abroad can reduce your risk of skin cancer.

Free 5 week programme starts on April 14th @2pm
