How does ice use affect families and what can they do?

Some of the greatest impacts of drug use are on families, but families sometimes feel in a position of little control when it comes to responding. Parents influence when and how their kids use drugs and alcohol through timing, supervision, modelling, attitudes and communication. Kids who learn effective coping and social skills and good emotion regulation are also less likely to use drugs. Attitudes Clear and early communication of values and attitudes to drugs heavily influences children's attitudes to drug use and the likelihood they will try drugs. Forced treatment Last year, Tasmanian MP Jacqui Lambie voiced many families' frustration, proposing forced treatment for people who use ice.
