The Western Region Drug & Alcohol Task Force and Planet Youth Ireland have two great webinars coming up for parents/guardians.

The first is with Dr Malie Coyne, Chartered Clinical Psychologist, University of Galway Lecturer, Best-selling Author, and parent.

A event flyer for a live Western Region Drug and Alcohol Task Force WRDATF webinar event with Dr. Malie Coyne, Chartered Clinical Psychologist, University of Galway Lecturer, Best-selling Author, and parent, as she explores the topic of “Supporting your teen when they’re feeling socially excluded”. The graphic includes the event name and details, a photo of Dr Coyne, a blonde-haired woman wearing a red top against a black background, a graphic of a group of children that shows one being excluded, and a QR code to register. Here is the event blurb: Drawing on her clinical expertise and her own parenting experience, Malie will discuss why belonging is vital for young people and how exclusion can affect self-esteem and mental health. She will share compassionate, practical strategies to help parents strengthen communication, support resilience, and navigate the challenges of peer rejection in today’s technology-driven world. Emmet Major, Planet Youth Coordinator, will highlight what the data in the surveys are telling us about the issue of social exclusion and Maria Powers, WRDATF Family Support Coordinator, will detail some of the supports available to parents in the region. Parents will leave with reassurance, tangible tools, and the opportunity to have their questions answered. Parents can submit questions on the night through a Q&A chat feature, or ahead of time by emailing Emmet Major at info@planetyouth.ie. All questions will be treated confidentially, and names will be altered for further anonymity.

🧠 Why do unfinished tasks stay on your mind? It’s called the Zeigarnik Effect — our brains hold onto incomplete tasks, making us more likely to come back and finish them. ✏️ Just starting something can boost focus.🔗 Read more: www.rte.ie/brainstorm/2... #SpeirGorm
