Substance Misuse within our Community

Aims to: Explore the effects of substance misuse on individuals and to provide a firm knowledge base to support good practice.

Learning objectives: By the end of the session learners will have:

  • Identified different substances, how they are used and why
  • Explored the effects and risks of substance misuse
  • Gained knowledge of what help is available and where to go
  • Considered our attitudes, both in society and as an individual

Audience: Workers in adult services and the voluntary and independent sectors, who would like to build a good knowledge to support their work with individuals, but whose main role is not substance misuse.
