About this Event

You don't need prior knowledge of the topic, however we love having a mixture of people with different experiences. Discussing and sharing anything relevant is welcomed throughout the session.

• Drug knowledge: Build understanding of different types of drugs, how they are classified based on their effects (e.g. stimulants, depressants, hallucinogens), and their legal status.
• Identifying use and risk: Recognise common signs and symptoms of drug use and develop confidence in assessing potential risks.
• Local drug trends: Gain an overview of current drug markets, including trends and commonly used substances specifically within West Northamptonshire.
• Harm reduction and support: Develop skills in delivering harm-reduction-focused support and know where to access relevant resources for help and guidance.
• Health impacts: Learn about both the physical and mental health effects associated with different substances.

Please note, the location of this event may change. We will endeavour to update attendees as soon as possible with any changes.
