Current and Emerging Trends in Young People's Substance Use

We will cover information about national and local trends, buying drugs online, emerging trends with cannabis use and also a range of other specific substances, including lean, NOS and smart/study drugs.

Session is 1.5 hours, taking place over Zoom.

What's the Score? The Corner's screening tool training

We will teach you how to use our drug and alcohol screening tool with young people, helping you to talk to young people about their use, identify risks and to explore harm reduction advice.

Session is 1.5 hour over Zoom

Cannabis: The Lowdown on Getting High

We will take an in-depth look not just at the cannabis plant itself but also at societal and cultural responses to the world's most widely used illicit substance. We will also cover advice on reducing harms and associated risks.

This is a 3 hour session over Zoom.

Basic Drug Awareness

We have converted our one day basic drug awareness course into two separate zoom sessions. We would encourage you to book on both sessions if possible.
Part 1 (1.5 hours) covers a brief introduction to The Corner; an overview of what we mean by a harm reduction approach and why this is so important; the cycle of change and how it relates to a young person's use; an exploration of what we mean by 'substance misuse', and the harm reduction triangle.
 
Part 2 (2 hours) focuses on increasing practitioner’s knowledge on a wide range of different substances. For each substance discussed we will explore how it effects the body, drug categories, routes of administration, harm reduction advice and the law.

Group Work & Stalls

Group Work

At The Corner we provide targeted group work for young people who are vulnerable or at risk around substance misuse. This group work is bespoke and suited to the needs of the young people we are working with.
Unfortunately we do not provide universal group work sessions - so cannot provide PSHE lessons or whole year group education.

Stalls & Festivals

The Corner can also provide stalls for festivals and events - this is to publicise our service to young people, professionals and the general public.
To request The Corner to support you in either of these areas of work then please download the associated form and return it to us at: thecorner.sheffield@cgl.org.uk
