One of our Performance with Keynote Speaker events designed for social work practitioners and students, Growing with Substance is a day-long training event and collaboration between Geese and Dr Ciaran Murphy.
A combination of keynote presentations and vivid theatre performances designed to bring theory to life, Growing with Substance will explore:
– how to prevent substance-related care episodes and understanding the ‘rollercoaster effect’ of repeated short-term treatment followed by lapse
– children’s views and experiences of parental substance misuse
– the impact of ‘industry violence’
– how to improve partnership working between children’s services and substance misuse professionals
Dr Ciaran Murphy is a Senior Lecturer in Social Work at Edge Hill University’s Department of Social Work and Wellbeing. He is a qualified and registered social worker having practised for 10 years in the areas of child protection, substance misuse and education welfare.
