Course overview of Drug And Alcohol Awareness

This Drug And Alcohol Awareness Course is your first step in becoming skilled in this specialist area. Furthermore, when embracing the social issue of alcohol and drug use, we need to be aware of the influence of our own thoughts and prejudices.

This is a big challenge for many of us. Whether we have personal and/or professional experience of inappropriate drug and alcohol usage. Moreover, young people can be influenced into trying legal and illegal substances. Therefore, we need to have an open and non-discriminatory attitude to understand and support them with their drug use.

Furthermore, this drug and alcohol awareness course will help those working in Children's Services to learn more about the impact that they can have on children and young people. Although there is a growing trend of teetotalism in the young (Guardian May 2017), binge drinking is more socially acceptable than ever before.

Our course also challenges learners to develop a keener awareness of the factors influencing drug and alcohol use in the young.
