In this podcast episode we speak with Emer Loughrey, Counsellor and Dr Monica Whyte, Systemic Family Therapist, who work together in Youth Drug and Alcohol (YoDA), a service within HSE Addiction service that work with young people engaged in problematic drug or alcohol use whilst supporting their families.
In this episode, they discuss the critical topic of substance use among young people, with a focus on the services provided by YoDA service in Tallaght, Dublin. They shed light on the prevalent substances among youth today, such as cannabis, nitrous oxide, and alcohol, and the impacts these substances can have on their lives. One key takeaway from this episode is the importance of early detection of substance abuse, as indicated by subtle signs like mood changes or a decline in academic performance.
