Are your teams aware of the effect that drugs can have on individuals? Do they understand how and when they can help? Drugs have a huge influence on today's society. In 2015/16, around 1 in 12 (8.4%) of adults aged 16 to 59 had taken an illicit drug in the last year, equating to around 2.7 million people (NHS Digital). Are your staff aware of these figures and support they can offer to colleagues, friends and family? People with a lack of awareness are often confused about what to say and what advice and help they can offer.

WHO WILL BENEFIT FROM DRUG AWARENESS TRAINING?

All staff. Managers could attend separately. An increased awareness helps everyone, with staff becoming more understanding and being able to support and show empathy with the user. It is important to remember that drug use takes many forms and there are different levels of classification, from the recreational cannabis smoker to the addicted heroin addict. We cover all this on our workshop, breaking the taboo of about drug awareness to address associated issues.

HOW YOUR INTERACTIVE DRUG AWARENESS COURSE WORKS

  • We discuss your objectives, any known drug issues within your organisation and training areas you'd like covered, then tailor the course to meet your needs.
  • With our easy-to-digest knowledge share and exercises, participants show empathy and provide support with drug users.
  • Our course delivery is interactive and depending on your needs, includes discussion on known issues and possible scenarios.

OUTCOME FROM YOUR DRUG AWARENESS COURSE

Your delegates will learn to:

  • Recall the most commonly used drugs (including legal highs, illegal drugs and alcohol) and understand their legal classification.
  • Identify a range of reasons why people use drugs.
  • Spot the different signs and patterns of drug use and respond appropriately.
  • Recognise the potential impact of substance use both professionally and personally.
  • Understand the link between drugs and mental health.

BENEFITS FOR YOUR ORGANISATION FROM DRUG AWARENESS TRAINING:

  • Greater understanding of drug use and the number of people affected.
  • Empathy and support for those affected by drug use.
  • Knowledge of how drugs can affect illness and mental health, and where to get help and advice from.
