Working with young people - regional workshops

Dear website subscriber

Working with young people - regional workshops

DrugScope are holding a series of five one-day regional workshops for those who work with young people around drugs and alcohol. Using DrugScope’s recently published Essential guide to working with young people about drugs and alcohol (PDF 273KB) as a resource, each workshop will have a particular theme with presentations on key issues from invited speakers, group discussions and an opportunity to showcase local practice. The themes are: Alcohol and young people; working with families; effective interventions and complex needs; mental health and sexual health, and criminal justice.

DrugScope are able to offer places at a significantly reduced rate of £35 per participant thanks to sponsorship from Ansvar Insurance. The rate for DrugScope members is further discounted to £30 per participant. The fee includes refreshments and lunch and every participant will receive a free copy of the Essential Guide.

All workshops will run from 10.100am to 4.00pm. The dates and venues are listed below. A booking form can be downloaded here (MS Word) or email: carolm@drugscope.org.uk
