Impact of parental substance use on children and young people
About this Event
Join us for a training session led by Anita Gagen, Team Manager at The Matthew Project. The Matthew Project supports young people affected by substance use across Norfolk.

In this training, you will:
- Develop an understanding of the impact parental substance misuse can have on children and young people, including developmental, psychological, and physical effects.
- Recognise the impact a young person’s substance use can have on their family.
- Explore attitudes and values towards substance use and consider their impact on practice.
- Understand the risk factors and indicators that make young people more vulnerable to exploitation and county lines.
