The event will be practical and useful to social workers, nurses, teachers, drug workers, police officers, youth offending services, youth prison officers, general practitioners, London Fire Brigade Juvenile Fire setting schemes and youth workers.
Content
The day will provide you with a broad knowledge and understanding of the complexities involved in adolescent mental health and substance misuse (dual diagnosis). It will explore the organisational dilemmas presented by the issues the topic generates - in the absence of robust policy.

- Hear about up to date contemporary research and thinking on adolescent substance misuse and mental health
