Knowledge for more humane drug policies
Courses
We offer courses and training in user equipment and less harmful intake methods, where harm reduction, infection prevention and overdose prevention are key topics.
The course is customised and tailored for drug users, healthcare professionals and municipal service providers.
Several municipalities have completed the course and report that they have gained increased expertise in the necessary user equipment, the correct use of user equipment, as well as courses in Switch (From syringes to smoking heroin) and the use of Naloxone (antidote), and have gained a greater understanding of harm reduction work and can assist drug users in a better way.
The course has both a practical and theoretical component, and is customised according to the needs of each municipality. We also distribute leaflets and posters with information and recommendations.
