Substance use, intoxication and withdrawal management workshop will increase knowledge, skills, and confidence in knowing how to recognise and respond to intoxication and withdrawal when working in a clinical or community setting.
Workshops are designed for people who have previous experience and training working in addiction services. For people without previous experience or training, it is recommended that the Blueprint for Learning Addiction 101 workshop is completed before attending a workshop.
This consists of three online sessions for 2 hours each.

- Friday 21 March, 10am to 12:30pm
