Rita Cortis, Drug Community Worker with Sedqa, will be giving a talk on Keeping Youths on the Right Path at the National Council of Women Centre, Blata l-Bajda, on Tuesday at 6pm.

This talk will focus on problems such as drug abuse, juvenile delinquency, and suicidal tendencies, delve into how to recognise the symptoms, explore how to cope with the effects of such problems, and explain what social services are available to youths who experience these problems.

Ms Cortis will be discussing adolescence in the light of bio-social, psychological and cognitive development.
