Conversations with young people about substance use

Conversations with young people about substance use
Join us for a training session led by Luke Adcock, Service Manager for The Matthew Project’s YouCan and Unity services, which support young people affected by substance use across Norfolk. With 20 years’ experience working directly with children and young people affected by substance misuse, Luke brings a wealth of knowledge and practical insight.

In this session, you will:

• Explore ways to engage young people in conversations about substance use, including using screening tools
• Discuss the benefits of multi-agency working
• Understand the support available for children and young people affected by substance use
• Learn about resources, guidance, and legal responsibilities to promote positive interventions for families

This session is ideal for professionals working with young people who want to develop their knowledge and confidence in having conversations around substance use.

You will receive the Microsoft Teams link in your order confirmation and again a couple of days before the training. To help make the session more interactive, we encourage you to have your camera on - unless there’s a reason you’re unable to do so.

The insights within this training are specific to Norfolk, UK. If you have any questions about the training, please email unity@matthewproject.org

We want everyone to feel safe, supported, and included in the training.
If you have any accessibility needs or anything you'd like us to be aware of, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
Please note that our sessions include discussions around addiction and substance misuse, which some may find sensitive.
We’re committed to making the training as accessible and comfortable as possible for all participants.
