THE TEAM


Pascaline Cabouret

A dentist, she has always campaigned against drug abuse. She gained her experience through SAMU (the French Emergency Medical Aid Service), as well as in schools and through her professional consultations. A mother of 5 children aged from 15 to 25, it was as a member of a parents' association that I first heard about MC d'Welles, in 2001. Wanting to know more about the organization she represented, I participated in a training course. I immediately expressed my interest to the headmaster in inviting Ms. d'Welles to the school. I took part in several seminars at Enfance Sans Drogue in order to be able to educate middle and high school students more effectively. I also wanted to look after my patients who had different concerns and to be able to talk with my children about the subject and with all of my acquaintances. Because everyone knows someone who uses psychotropic drugs! I learned a lot during Enfance Sans Drogue's training sessions, as well as through helping the organization and courtesy of the testimony of the parents. 


Claudie Colin

As the mother of a 27 years old girl, I had been made aware of the problem of cannabis consumption amongst young people through a seminar with ESD. I am lucky I am not directly affected by it, but my daughter lives in a sphere where people use drugs regularly. It is important to me to be informed about it and to take preventative action. This is one of the reasons that I joined the organization. I am also a member of another organization, which enhances the role of the family in our society.  


Sophie Pélissié du Rausas

At the beginning of 1999 I attended a conference on drugs by Marie-Christine d'Welles held by the World Movement of Mothers. At that time I only had two children, aged four and two and a half. Needless to say, I was sure that the topic would not concern me! When I heard that most high school pupils used drugs, that they felt ill because of them and that they couldn't talk about it with their parents, I felt that this was something which needed to be addressed urgently. I offered to join Marie-Christine d'Welles to help her find the best means to aid people, which seemed to be through prevention. And thus ESD was created. A graduate of the Law Institute in Lyon, I wanted to further my knowledge of drugs and so I gained a University Degree in Toxicology from the Medical Faculty in Angers.  


Sophie Roubertie

A mother of three boys (aged 6 to 17) I studied law. Convinced that it is necessary to be well informed about drugs in order to be listened to by our children, I partook in a course run by Enfance Sans Drogue in 2003. I realized then how much the products have evolved and how it is now more necessary than ever to warn our children about the risks of drugs. Ten years ago, I wouldn't have imagined that drugs were everywhere and so easily accessible. More than ever, I wish to communicate as much and as objectively as possible about drugs to children and parents alike.
