Harm Reduction Training

Extern’s harm reduction training builds on Extern’s expertise in supporting people living with problem drug or alcohol use, gained in over 20 years of delivering services in the homelessness and addictions fields in Northern Ireland.

Extern's Harm Reduction Training stands as a specialised training resource meticulously curated for professionals operating within Northern Ireland's substance use sector.

These comprehensive sessions are commissioned by the Public Health Agency, embodying a commitment to equipping professionals to enhance their ability to provide effective support and interventions that reduce harm and promote the health and well-being of individuals affected by substance use.

Our training courses cover a diverse spectrum of crucial topics, including the vital area of Naloxone Administration.

These courses encompass essential elements such as opioid overdose response, specialised training for trainers in naloxone administration, strategies for reducing injecting-related harms, and the facilitation of needle and syringe provision.

Extern is the leading supplier of naloxone training in Northern Ireland, and we frequently attend overdose situations alongside the emergency services.

Our training initiative extends beyond the classroom, providing drug-related information resources that serve as invaluable references for professionals. These resources encompass detailed insights into naloxone, pregabalin, and comprehensive assessments of injecting drug use.

Extern's commitment to empowering professionals within the substance use sector is reflected in these meticulously crafted training sessions and information resources.

By equipping individuals with up-to-date knowledge and essential skills, we aim to foster a more informed and effective response to the complex challenges surrounding substance use and harm reduction within Northern Ireland.
