Eclypse is the Young Person’s Specialist Substance Misuse Service for the city of Manchester and is delivered by Change Grow Live (CGL). Eclypse deliver the specialist support service for young people and young adults (up to age 25) who are affected by substance use. Over recent years we have seen a significant increase in the use of vapes with young people under the age of 18 across Manchester and based on recent research from Action on Smoking and Health (ASH), this shows no signs of slowing down. In response to this worrying trend, Eclypse, in partnership with Public Health have created a free training resource for professionals, to raise awareness around vaping and the dangers and potential harms for young people. The training will be delivered online and is designed to be easily accessible, providing all professionals with some foundational knowledge about the facts of vaping. It will also highlight the associated dangers and harms and also explore the modern culture in which young people find themselves, which can impact their choices and place them at risk. Upon completion of the free training, all attendees will also be provided with a useful resource library that they can use with young people in a community setting, allowing them to provide some brief advice and guidance, aswell as harm reduction information. In addition to the free training and resources, we have also created a ‘Vaping Screening Tool’ which will allow professionals to effectively assess the needs of young people in relation to vaping and guide them as to whether a referral into Eclypse is needed for further structured or intensive support. This screening tool will also be given to all attendees (***please note that Eclypse will only accept a referral for vaping support upon completion of the screening tool, where the need for structured/intensive support around vaping has clearly been identified***). To book on the training, please follow the link to our Eventbrite Calendar below where you will be able to book your free place on your chosen or preferred dates. All sessions are 2 hours long and will be delivered on a Wednesday afternoon 2:30pm – 4:30pm. There are sessions running up to July 2024 so there should be lots of opportunity to attend.
