Over the last ten years New Psychoactive Substances have dramatically changed the drug market in the UK. 400 new drugs have become available for sale in Europe over the last five years and synthetic cannabinoid products are now the main reason drug users seek emergency medical treatment.
 
Against this ever changing landscape it is becoming more and more difficult for workers to keep up to date with latest trends and effectively work with some of the most vulnerable and challenging client groups.

This NewLink Wales training will:

• Enable you to understand what is meant by the variety of terms used to describe new psychoactive substances
• Identify the key new substances being used
• Identify the effects and risks of new psychoactive drugs
• Explore the role of the internet in the new psychoactive market
• Recognise the current legal position and the potential impact of the New Psychoactive Act
• Consider harm reduction techniques and treatment options

Cost: £65.00 (includes course material & lunch)
