Basic Drug Awareness

Part 1 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 is the A-Z of drugs and focuses on increasing practitioner’s knowledge of specific 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
