This course will support practitioners in adult and children’s services to respond to children affected by parental substance use.
The training attracts attendees from a wide range of sectors and we encourage active participation in our sessions through group discussions, and by inviting individuals to offer comments on issues relevant to their role. If you have any concerns about participating within this interactive format please highlight this in the additional needs section of the booking form.
By the end of the training, participants will be able to:
- Identify the impact of parental substance use on children.
- Describe the child’s change cycle in parental use and recovery.
- Practice the assessment of risk for children affected by parental substance use.
- Identify ways to actively engage and hear young people’s stories.
The Scottish Drugs Forum (SDF) commend that you complete their 'Drug Awareness - An Introductory Course' e-learning module. It can be found on their website.
