Overview:

This course provides delegates with a knowledge of the most commonly used recreational drugs and the influence that both these and alcohol have on young people. Delegates will also develop an understanding of different substances, the effects which they have on the body and mind, and how to deal with them accordingly. The training is designed for those, such as foster carers, who work primarily with young people who may be seen as vulnerable.
