Online Supporting Mental Health and Substance Use

Developed and delivered by SDF, funded by Glasgow HSCP & ADP

Our interactive training takes place on MS Teams and is currently only available to those who work in Glasgow City. 

Our training attracts attendees from a wide range of sectors and we encourage active participation in our sessions through group discussions, and by inviting individuals to offer comments on issues relevant to their role.
