This half-day training session will give you an update on general drug trends in Scotland and how to advice people you support. We’ll be focusing specifically on cocaine trends, including crack cocaine and injection, synthetic opioids and street benzos.At the end of the session you will be able to:

  1. Identify emerging drug trends in Scotland
  2. Identify and group drugs by their effect on the mind and the body
  3. Have an overview of drug-related deaths
  4. Identify appropriate harm reduction responses

The session will include hands-on advice that you can use in your daily work with clients. It will be an interactive session, with a range of activities and plenty of time for questions and discussions.

Sign up today for an opportunity to learn and connect with other frontline workers!

NB: The event will take place in-person in Edinburgh. You will receive more information closer to the date.
