SASP – Substance Abuse in Schools Package

The Substance Abuse in Schools Package is a targeted training package designed for school staff and professionals who may encounter substance use concerns among learners. Schools are often one of the first environments where early warning signs of substance use, behavioural changes, peer influence, risk-taking, and family-related concerns become visible. This package provides practical addiction-specific education to help school teams respond more confidently, appropriately, and responsibly.

The SASP Package is ideal for teachers, school counsellors, principals, deputy principals, disciplinary teams, pastoral care staff, boarding house staff, life orientation educators, youth workers, social workers, wellness staff, and any school faculty involved in learner support, wellbeing, behaviour management, or prevention initiatives.

This package is not designed to turn school staff into addiction counsellors. Rather, it equips school professionals with the knowledge to better understand substance abuse, identify possible concerns, apply prevention principles, manage appropriate interventions, and know when referral to specialist services may be necessary.

The SASP Package includes two targeted modules:

Substance Abuse Prevention and Intervention Covers prevention principles, risk factors, planning and application of prevention programmes, brief interventions, motivational interviewing, and core components of effective substance abuse intervention.

Dealing with Substance Abuse in Schools Explores substance use concerns within the school environment, including risk factors, consequences, prevention strategies, policies, and relevant legal considerations. This module also addresses school-specific issues such as drug testing, searches, learner rights, disciplinary processes, and appropriate referral pathways.

Together, these modules provide a focused and practical foundation for schools wanting to strengthen their response to substance abuse concerns. The package supports a more informed, preventative, and structured approach to learner wellbeing, while helping schools protect both students and staff through clearer understanding of appropriate boundaries, policies, and intervention procedures.

The SASP Package may be completed as a standalone targeted package for professional development, CEU/CPD credit, or school staff upskilling.
