Since some high-profile cases, agencies that deal with young people have an increased responsibility to work with each other to prevent substance misuse. This session outlines some of those responsibilities and suggests ways to identify young people at risk of substance misuse and put in place prevention strategies.

 

Learning Objectives

By the end of this session you will be able to:

  • List the predictive factors for substance misuse in young people and the factors that protect them
  • Define the links with mental health and well-being
