Anna Liffey Drugs Project is providing a workshop by Mat Southwell on responding to emerging trends.  This will be held on Thursday 28th February between 2.30pm and 5pm at Ozanam House, Mountjoy Square.

The aim of the workshop is to get services together which run client services in the local area, to develop a model for responding to emerging trends on a local basis.

For more information this workshop, please click here.

Also, we wish to have as much service user participation as possible, so ideally we would have 2 people attend from each service - one service user and one staff member.
