Introducing, our latest series of workshops, “ASSIST-Lite: How to manage substance use using the ultra-rapid screen”

As the name suggests, the ASSIST-Lite is an ultra-rapid screening tool that is based on the Alcohol, Smoking and Substance Involvement Test (ASSIST) which was developed by the World Health Organization. In 2-3 minutes, the ASSIST-Lite can help identify the risks associated with a person’s substance use. Combined with tailored brief advice, it can raise awareness about the risks associated with their use and help a person make more positive choices.

In this workshop, you will learn how to administer the ASSIST-Lite and linked Brief Intervention so you can comfortably start to manage substance use within your workplace.

The ASSIST-Lite training is delivered in four, 90-minute Zoom sessions. Training is free – register today via Eventbrite. Register Now
