CAN Young People’s Team

The sessions will provide participants with the knowledge to help others understand their drug use, learn how to access support, assess motivation for change and recognise signs and symptoms associated with various substances.

Due to the success of our previous training the same half day training sessions are being offered throughout the county for practitioners working directly with young people.

The course will also equip attendees with an understanding of the services CAN Young People’s team offers and how referrals can be made to the team.
