💚 What makes a community a great place for young people to grow?

Last Thursday, we launched the Newbridge Communities That Care Protective Factors findings, bringing people together to look at what’s already making a difference and how we can build on it. 🌱

A massive thank you to everyone who joined us, and to Katy and Trinity College Dublin for helping bring the findings to life.

Having the conversation is important

Talking to your teenager about alcohol might feel awkward, but it can make a real difference.

Creating a safe space to talk, listening without judgement, and answering questions can helps build trust and gives them the confidence to make safer choices.
