About this course

Drugs and alcohol can affect many adults, children and young people in the UK today. People from all backgrounds might experiment with substances, and some will go on to have substance misuse problems. Young people in care often face disruptions in their lives which can make them vulnerable and more likely to come into contact with drugs than other young people. Many have experienced a range of difficulties in their lives: some may be from homes and neighbourhoods where the regular use of drugs is common place. This can in turn affect their own attitudes towards substance use.
