Advice and resources on alcohol, cannabis and vaping, including tips to get talking, setting boundaries, the law, hosting parties and where to go for help and support

"Thanks for all your and Helena’s organising. It was a very successful evening – we had 45 in the audience and they were highly complimentary."

"Helena, Thank-you so much for last night…. Parents were very appreciative and I think we can build on this for the future…. Once again many thanks for an informative and useful talk."

"I was delighted with your presentation this evening, you made a very good impression on all the parents I spoke to. Furthermore, both Jo and I thought you had been of great service to the school, and we all learnt something new. Even though we are the ‘experts’, that could be applied to us too, thank you."

Helena Conibear has spoken to staff and parents about alcohol on three separate occasions in the past two academic years. We, and parents, have been so impressed with the quality of the information, advice and resources provided by the AET that we have already booked them in for the coming academic year.The talks are always well received as Helena has both a very relaxed yet confident presentation style and quite obviously knows the information and latest facts. This is especially clear in the question and answer part of her sessions where I have only seen calm and informed answers to whatever is thrown at her! Exceptionally helpfully for us, she is also very flexible and will adapt her presentations to suit our needs and requirements. I have also used many of the AET resources when planning the alcohol education module of our PSHE course as the AET’s vision for young people to enter adulthood having a healthy relationship with alcohol ensures that its resources engages pupils allowing them to build the necessary resilience from a position of informed choice

"Thank you for an informative evening with useful facts and tips."

"A brilliant video. Thank you for sharing. So enlightening and very well presented… very factual, unemotional and non-ideological, and lots of good content. Very impressed with it."

"Thank you once again for your superb presentation. I have received nothing but great feedback from parents."
