Around 2 years ago Homeless Link began to notice a distinct change in the behaviour of the people accessing their service.  From chatting with clients it started to emerge that this pronounced change was down to the use of ‘legal highs’.  This became even more of an issue when those who had traditionally used Class A substances and/or alcohol began to combine legal & illegal substances.

In partnership with Sifa Fireside, Homeless Link are running a new course in Legal Highs Awareness from January to March 2015.  Improve your understanding of the substances, impact and therapeutically informed interventions that could improve the support you provide.
