Cranstoun Sandwell Free Online Training on Alcohol and Drugs
by Stuart Ashmore
Cranstoun Sandwell is offering two free online training sessions about alcohol and other drugs. The first session discusses the prevalence of drug use in the UK and provides an overview on how drugs are taken before looking at the effects and risks of the substances the organisation see most people approach their service for support around in Sandwell.
The second session looks at the support you can offer to individuals who are using substances and explores why there may be reluctance to talk about this.
The training is delivered as two, two-hour online sessions. Both can be seen as a session, but together form a good basis for anyone who wants to expand their knowledge around working with people who use alcohol or other drugs.
If you have several people in your service who are interested, Cranstoun is happy to deliver to you in person and can arrange a bespoke session to meet your needs. The organisation can also train on how to use Naloxone, a lifesaving drug that can reverse the effects of Opiate overdose.
Online sessions can be booked through Eventbrite – bit.ly/44wM0lU
