Movendi International's weekly conversation about the latest alcohol issues in policy and science and new alcohol industry revelations.
Special edition - CoA Week 2021
For this special edition of the Alcohol Issues podcast we welcome Dr Sheila Gilheany for an in-depth conversation about the situation of children living in families with alcohol problems, the size of the problem and concrete solutions.
Sheila is the Chief Executive of Alcohol Action Ireland.
CoA Week 2021 is the international awareness week to bring attention to the reality of children growing up in families with alcohol problems.
With host Maik Dünnbier Sheila discusses Alcohol Action Ireland’s work to raise awareness and improve the conditions of children growing up in families with alcohol problems. They are running the much needed initiative Silent Voices that works to end the silence around the impact of family alcohol problems on children.
Sheila shares deep insights into the extent of the problem in Ireland and we talk about what life is like for vulnerable children. I learn more about the Silent Voices initiative, how it works and what they’ve been doing in the last two years since it was started by three founding voices.
While the situation of children from families with alcohol problems is dire and yet there remains silence around the topic, there is a set of big and small solutions. Sheila talks with me about those and shares her vision of how the rights of vulnerable children can be much better protected through concrete alcohol policy and other interventions.
