Clear Minds Safer Homes is a campaign designed to raise awareness among professionals working with children and families about the potential risks posed by parental cannabis use. While cannabis may be perceived by some as low-risk, its use in caregiving environments can compromise parental capacity and increase vulnerabilities for children.

Key messages:

• Cannabis use is not harmless - especially where children are involved
• Even casual use can impair parenting, decision making, emotional availability, and safety awareness
• Early conversations and intervention can reduce harm and support positive change in families
