Harm reduction training for young people who use and misuse drugs
Who could have predicted the effect that Covid-19 would have on our lives and the impact on our young people’s drug use? Some thought that our young people would relish the break from all their mundane commitments . But we have been faced with a hard task; those everyday social interactions that we rely on, the ones that keep our mental health together have all but diminished. As a result, mental health has deteriorated and substance use and misuse has increased. With a detailed focus on strategies and techniques when working with young people, this 3 – hour course covers a wide range of issues related to substance misuse & Covid-19, social effects, health and the various responses and interventions when working with young people.
Who is this training for?
This training is a must for any professional working with children or young people and their families, parents or carers. It’s suitable for various settings and either group or 1:1 dynamics.
