The opening workshop of the Templenoe GAA Healthy Club project was held in the Sneem Hotel and was based on a talk on Drugs and Alcohol. The talk was presented by Padraig O’Donovan who is a community Alcohol and Drugs worker at the KDYS.
With a large group in attendance, Padraig gave a fact based talk on drugs and alcohol which was very informative. He also highlighted the realities around Drug and Alcohol taking in the South Kerry region, and the affects it can have on people. This workshop was the first session in the South Kerry Community based Drugs and Alcohol Pilot Project. He hopes to roll out more of these across South Kerry in the coming year, and Templenoe GAA Club would like to encourage as many people as possible to attend.
Padraig also listed a number of resources that are available to people should they encounter issues with Drugs and Alcohol. We will look to list them on the Templenoe GAA website.
We would like to say thank you to Padraig for giving his time to come down to us and provide us with some very valuable information and to Mairead O’Mahony and the Templenoe GAA Health & Wellness committee for all their work in organizing the event
