TALKING ABOUT DIFFICULT ISSUES

TALKING ABOUT DIFFICULT ISSUES TOOLKIT

Dr Lester Coleman and Dr Debi Roker, TSA 2004

I was intrigued when I encountered this resource. I found the information and statistics in section two to be interesting and helpful. They covered a wide range of relevant material.
Helen Winskill, Youth & Policy

The main aim of this Toolkit is to help practitioners to address difficult issues with parents. It is particularly relevant to those running parenting courses in the youth justice system. The two specific issues included are sexual health and substance misuse. The Toolkit has a number of key sections, reflecting what practitioners working with parents said that they wanted.

The Toolkit is not a course. It is, as the name suggests, designed to provide the 'tools' that practitioners can use to raise and discuss difficult issues. It lists group work tools and activities to open debate and discussion on difficult issues. These include case studies, quotes from parents and young people, and quizzes and games. Section 5 lists evaluation guidelines and materials that practitioners can use both to reflect on the usefulness of the Toolkit, and to get feedback from parents about sessions.

Young people explore parental alcohol misuse.
Young Voice film

There is a lot of education around young people using alcohol and binge drinking, however questions aren't asked about a parent's drinking.

Parental alcohol misuse is often hidden. Young people do not like people talking about their parents, are protective towards them, and their drinking is often a source of shame. The DVD brings out the issue of teenagers becoming young carers because they hide the fact that their parents misuse alcohol.
