The Young People (YP) Professionals Toolbox is a practical resource designed to support professionals working with young people across education, health, social care, and community settings.
It provides direct access to our service, helping practitioners respond appropriately to substance use issues affecting young people, at any level, no matter how minor.
Practioners can make a quick and easy direct referral for a young person, which will be picked up and allocated within 24 hours.
The toolbox includes the latest intelligence on substance use among young people within the local area.
This helps professionals stay informed about:
- Emerging drug trends
- Patterns of use
- Associated risks and behaviours
A range of free training opportunities is available through the toolkit, designed to build confidence and knowledge when working with young people.
Our current education offer is included for your reference.
