“We are trying to create an atmosphere where people feel welcome, feel valued. They’re treated with dignity and respect when they come here. They’re welcomed as equals, no different to you or I.” - Lynn MacDonald

Our friends at Coact have developed a one-day training course on safer injecting, designed to equip harm reduction practitioners and peer workers with knowledge of the circulatory system, different types of needles and syringes (including the latest low dead space options), and approaches that support safer preparation and administration of drugs for injection, alongside safe disposal practices.

Mat Southwell and other experienced peer trainers will deliver a two-part virtual version of this course over two consecutive days. Each session will be offered twice — once in the morning and once in the afternoon (European time) — to enable participation across different time zones.

Participants will gain a thorough understanding of the course content and learn how to deliver it themselves. Graduates will receive exclusive access to the full training package, including the presentation and trainer’s guide, with materials designed for easy translation and adaptation.
