Drugs Awareness Week highlights need for information and treatment

CORK Drugs Awareness Week kicks off today with particular emphasis on young people, families and treatment.

The initiative runs until next Tuesday and follows on from the city’s first such drug awareness week last year. The main aim of the week is to raise awareness and provide information to communities, families and professionals.

The focus today is on families with a seminar on “Addiction — Signposts to Recovery for Family and Friends”.
