5th class students telling us what’s positive for our self esteem and what’s negative for our self esteem! Self esteem and having good self esteem is a protective factor for problem substance use. Let’s listen to what the young people are telling us and we can support them in their journeys more effectively

It is with profound sadness that we learned of the tragic death of a young 16-year-old girl who sustained catastrophic injuries following a collision involving a scrambler bike in the Scribblestown area of Finglas. The incident occurred on the Ratoath Road, as the young girl was using a pedestrian crossing. Despite the immediate response from Gardaí and emergency services, she sadly died in hospital on Sunday evening.

The Local Drugs Task Force and Safety Forum extend our deepest condolences to the family, friends, and the wider community. This devastating event highlights the urgent need for continued action to address the dangers posed by scrambler bikes and to improve road safety for all residents.

We remain committed to working with local authorities, community organisations, and law enforcement to prevent such tragedies in the future. We encourage anyone with information regarding this incident to come forward and assist the Gardai with their ongoing investigation.

Our thoughts are with all those affected at this difficult time.

Over the next few weeks we will be working with BroomBridge Educate Together National school to help young people build skills around relationships, influence and self esteem ⭐️⭐️

As part of our plan to provide greater support to schools and youth services, we will be organising a number of workshops and trainings so teachers and youth facing staff can have these conversations with young people in a structured and evidence based way.

Last week our Youth Advisory Panel attended the Garda Youth Awards and received certificates to recognise the great work they do with the Task Force. These young people volunteer at events, help us design campaigns, and get involved in community initiatives. They have given up their time and energy to work on Sumer campaigns, a va**ng consultation, information sessions, online webinars, and research. They are a credit to our local community.

A huge congratulations to Finglas South Youth Club who were also recognised on the evening, one of their young people presented his own poem and Sinead from the club gave a great speech on how important working with the young people is. Also a huge congrats for Cabra For Youth and their young person Darragh who was collecting an award too!! Brilliant work from across the two areas 🙌🏼⭐️
