LANDED Peer Education Service presents:

Cannabis Awareness Training

Cannabis is the most widely used drug in the world.

The aim of this course is to provide practitioners working with young people a deeper understanding of cannabis which gives you and your staff team the knowledge, tools and confidence to open up a conversation around cannabis use with your service users.

LANDED come from a ‘harm-reduction’ approach to drug use, we don’t condemn or condone anyone’s drug use. We recognise young people are going to engage in risky behaviours and we aim to provide them with non-biased information in an effort to promote positive lifestyle choices.
