Torrevieja Town Hall has launched a new programme of educational talks for families as part of its work in public health and prevention. The initiative, titled “Conversations in the Family I”, has been organised by the Community Prevention Unit for Addictive Behaviours and will take place between March and June at the Palacio de la Música.

The free sessions are aimed at parents, families and educators, offering practical tools to address some of today’s key challenges in education and family life. Topics will include setting limits and rules at home, cyber security and parental controls, communication around friendships and peer pressure, and the prevention of vaping, tobacco and snuff use.

The programme begins on 11 March at 19:30 with a session on family boundaries and rules. Further talks will be held on 20 April, 11 May and 22 June, each starting at 18:30. All sessions will be led by specialists in prevention and education.

Councillor for Public Health Rosa Cañón has said the initiative reflects the council’s commitment to preventive and educational action. She added that the aim is to strengthen parenting skills, promote healthy lifestyles and encourage positive family environments that reduce the risk of harmful behaviours.
