Friday 26th November - Substance use, intoxication and withdrawal management workshop in Napier

Te Pou is pleased to offer workers in health services evidence-based training to support you to:

• understand the function of substance use and the impact of stigma on help seeking
• recognise harmful and risky substance use
• develop practical strategies to assess and manage behavioural disturbance due to intoxication and withdrawal

The workshops will also explore
