- recognise harmful and risky substance use
- develop practical strategies to assess and manage behavioural disturbance due to intoxication and withdrawal
- recognise and respond to withdrawal.
The workshops will also explore:
- how to engage with people who use substances
- what is harm reduction
- how to provide harm reduction advice for people who continue to use substances
- how to refer to specialist addiction services
- other community supports.
