• Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and how these can contribute to later difficulties with both mental health and substance use.
• Basic neurobiology of substance use.
• Introduction to psychosis, emotionally unstable personality disorder, PTSD, depression and anxiety – how these can interact with substance use, with a focus on how they can maintain each other.
• Time to explore your role in relation to these difficulties.
