This course is split into three sessions:

  • Session 1 will enable you to understand the concepts of substance use, substance misuse and substance abuse. It will describe the effects of misuse of common substances. It will also describe the value and consequences of substance misuse for adolescents.
  • Session 2 - Since some high-profile cases, agencies that deal with young people have an increased responsibility to work with each other to improve outcomes for young people who misuse substances. This session outlines the responsibilities of some of the agencies involved and suggests current assessment, screening and management models.
  • Session 3 - Since some high-profile cases, agencies that deal with children 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 children at risk of substance misuse and put in place prevention strategies.
