As teenagers grow more independent, attend festivals, and navigate social scenes, conversations around drugs can feel daunting, uncomfortable, or scary for parents.
Traditional warnings of “just say no” rarely reflect the realities young people encounter or equip them with the knowledge to stay alive when things go wrong.
In this moving session, KIP Education is honoured to welcome guest speaker Janine Milburn.
In May 2018, Janine’s 18-year-old daughter, Georgia Jones, tragically died after taking high-strength ecstasy tablets at the Mutiny Festival in Portsmouth. Following this devastating loss, Janine dedicated her life to campaigning for honest, realistic drug education and practical harm reduction, determined to prevent other families from enduring the same heartbreak.
This 90-minute evening session offers parents an honest space to understand the current substance landscape, learn how harm reduction saves lives, and discover how to talk openly with teenagers without driving them away.
