“As we enter this busy festive period I want to raise the awareness of T.I.P.S.A. among parents particularly those who at times have felt isolated or helpless and are concerned about their teenagers misusing alcohol or drugs. Christmas can be a time of great worry for some parents and I want to reassure them that professional support and advice is available.”
