This one-day course provides a sound knowledge base on drug-related issues for those working with young families where drug use is may be a concern.
For many, drug use is an emotive issue where, all too often, workers feel they may lack specific knowledge and are unsure about how to respond.
This course covers: the patterns of drug use from the 1960s to the present; how drugs work and what different drugs do; understanding drug-related behaviour; risk and protective factors for dependence; as well as practice issues to raise awareness of potential for harm.
