'When Dan died, there was so much I wished I'd known. I'll never know whether knowing any of the things I didn't know, or doing any of the things I didn't do, would have been enough to keep Dan safe in that moment of decision, but if in reading this book my gaps are filled for you, and a difference is made for your children, then that will be more than good enough for me.'

When Daniel Spargo-Mabbs was 16, he went to a party and never came home. The party was an illegal rave and Daniel - a bright, popular, big-hearted prom king - died from a fatally strong overdose of MDMA.

I Wish I'd Known is the book Dan's mother Fiona - co-founder of the leading drug education charity the Daniel Spargo-Mabbs Foundation - wishes she'd had as her intelligent, inquisitive child entered his teenage years. Because however you parent, and whatever you do, your child is very likely to be at some time or other in a situation where they have to make a decision about drugs. What if that decision is 'yes'? Do they know what the risks are? Do they have practical strategies they can bring to bear if things go wrong?

Use of illegal drugs is on the rise among teenagers, and accessing advice and support to help navigate this landscape is critical not just for them, but for you as a parent. I Wish I'd Known explores the risks and effects of the substances young people are most likely to encounter, and the legal pitfalls that may leave their own lasting legacy. It explains the way the adolescent brain makes decisions and manages risk, and gives insight into how to manage important conversations through these often tricky years. There are practical strategies for staying safe, information on reducing harm, and 'talking points' providing ideas for things to do, to talk about, look at, look up or consider.

Throughout the book, Daniel's story - his life, his death, and what happened afterwards - not only provides a compelling reminder of the importance of those conversations, but also serves as a beautiful, unforgettable eulogy to a son, brother, boyfriend and friend whose life continues to touch, and perhaps even save, those of other young people.

Recenzijas

Incredibly powerful and also very practical. Fiona wants to make sure no mum or dad ever has to go through what she went through. This book is a must-read. * Victoria Derbyshire * This is such an important book[ ...] Fiona has used her devastatingly sad experience with Daniel to help all of us and this book should be essential reading for parents of teenagers. * Gabby Logan * Incredibly powerful. I can't imagine what it must have been like to write [ this book]. But in amongst the heart-breaking story, the information, advice and evidence is meticulously researched, and navigates every parent's worst nightmare without scaremongering. Every parent should read this: it's not a frightening message, it's empowering, and a message of hope. * Dr Suzi Gage, psychologist, podcaster and author of 'Say Why to Drugs' * A powerful and important book... Beautifully and poignantly written. I would recommend this book to every parent I know. * Professor Sarah-Jayne Blakemore * Written with determination, humility and sadness - any parent or carer will be better informed and wiser after reading it. * Professor Dame Carol Black * Fiona's story is heart-breaking, but her honesty and generosity in telling it will undoubtedly prevent other parents from finding themselves in a similar situation. This book is an absolute must for any parent wanting to have a meaningful conversation with their children about drugs. * Alicia Drummond, MBACP Accred., Founder, Teen Tips * A vital book which has the power to prevent tragic drug related deaths among young people. A must read for any parent. * Paul North, Volteface * Dan's beautiful, intelligent, witty, big-hearted character is the golden thread in I Wish I'd Known. There are excellent practical, achievable ideas for parents and professionals; there are also personal testimonies and insights into the legal and medical systems that make for essential reading for anyone concerned about young people's drug use. [ From] living through the most painful experience a parent can face, I know I Wish I'd Known will grow many good things from a very bad thing. * Emma Crawshaw, CEO, Crew2000 * Beautifully written... a personal journey through the loss of a son, the book [ also] provides a valuable resource of factual detail about drugs and alcohol. A must for parents, those working with young people, and young people themselves. * Betsy Thom, Professor of Health Policy, Middlesex University * Enlightening and informative... A book that educates as much as it moves, it deserves to be read far and wide, by parents and professionals alike. * Dr Ronny Cheung * A testament to parental love, and a resource of tremendous importance for all those who care about young people. * Lady Kate Cayley, Deputy Head of Boarding, Marlborough College * This book is a very significant achievement. * David Mackintosh, Global Public Health Network * An ambitious and important work. Moving, informative, honest and practical. * Dr Eric Carlin, Director, Director of Scottish Health Action on Alcohol Problems * This may be a life-saving book. Deeply personal and moving, yet packed with relatable, practical and expert information and advice, I Wish I'd Known is an invaluable guide for parents in supporting children to make safer choices about drugs and alcohol.

Every parent should read it. * Laura Bunt, We Are With You * This book is unique and will transform many of the lives of its readers. * Professor Janusz Jankowski * This book is going to save so many young lives... Thank you, Fiona, for all you are doing to change the course of history * Elizabeth Burton Phillips MBE; Author, Founder of DrugFAM * If there was a national curriculum for parents, this book should be on it. * Stuart George, BBC Radio Stoke *

Fiona Spargo-Mabbs was a manager in adult education, including Family Learning, and family literacy, for her local authority when her son Dan died. She is now considered one of the leading experts in drugs education in the UK, and her influence is growing steadily. She, and the Daniel Spargo-Mabbs Foundation, are involved in an ever-increasing number of strategic projects nationally, and she has appeared in the media many times over the years. Fiona has led on the development and management of the work of the Foundation, from delivery to students and co-ordination with schools, to networking and strategy, and chaired the Board of Trustees until April 2016. Her passionate commitment to do all she can to prevent what happened to her son, or any other harm from drugs happening to anyone else, drives everything she does within the Foundation.
