Want to learn more about mental health interventions?
Welcome to our course on community-based mental health for people who use amphetamine-type substances (ATS). Around the world, people who use drugs are denied access to essential mental health support. It is important to explore the intricate relationship between mental health and substance use.
This course will guide you towards implementing community-based interventions as a first response to mental health issues.
This course has been designed in a way that allows participants with little harm reduction experience and established professionals in the field to both engage, learn, and gain valuable insights. These insights can then be applied across a spectrum of contexts and practices.
