Substance use, intoxication and withdrawal management is a workshop for workers who have completed Blueprint for Learning’s Addiction 101 workshop or similar or have experience working in the addiction space in either a community or clinical setting.
The workshop will help workers to:

- recognise and respond to withdrawal
The workshops will also explore:
- how to engage with people who use substances
- what is harm reduction
- how to provide harm reduction advice for people who continue to use substances
- how to refer to specialist addiction services
- other community supports.
