Ketamine Awareness Morning

We at Forward Trust are the local drug and alcohol service, will be hosting a Ketamine Awareness Day, and we would be delighted if you and any members of your team who may benefit would be able to attend.

As you may be aware, there has been a significant rise in ketamine use over the past few years. Ketamine use can have severe and long-lasting impacts on both physical and mental health, and there is an increasing need for informed, coordinated responses across services.

To support professionals and the individuals they work with, we will be holding an in-person awareness session on the morning of Thursday 12 March, doors open 9:30am for refreshments then 10am to 1:00pm for the session with a scheduled break around 11.30am, at the Turner Gallery in Margate.

The session will include:

A presentation from one of Forward Trust’s doctors on the physical and mental health effects of ketamine

An overview of the support Forward Trust provides in the community and within residential rehabilitation services

Insight from a Recovery Worker on their experience supporting individuals with a history of ketamine use

A personal account from someone who has been supported by Forward Trust to address their ketamine useAttendance is free.

Should you require any further information, please do not hesitate to contact me at [email protected].

Thank you for your time, and we hope to welcome you on the day.
