Flexible
This is a flexible resource for drugs trainers and
others who work with young people.
While focussing on VSA, the video has lessons for
practice that are appropriate for professional workers with young
people who have to deal with drug misuse of any kind.
The video features:
• realistic scenarios
• ideas for practice with young substance users
• ‘trigger’ questions to enhance viewers’
understanding
• lively and engaging animation by Ruth Lingford, whose
work has been showcased at MOMI and on Channel Four
• thoughtful script by Richard Ives, an experienced and
widely-published author on drugs and young people
• compelling soundtrack by Dmitri Shostakovich
The accompanying manual features:
• a synopsis of the video script and descriptions
of the characters
• detailed guidance on using the trigger questions with
trainees
• photocopiable pages for creating overhead projector slides.
The history of Problems with solutions
The Video was first produced as a training resource
to accompany the Manual, Problems with Solutions: a manual for
work with solvent sniffers and other young drug users, which was
published by the Institute for the Study of Drug Dependence (ISDD
– now DrugScope), with Department of Health and British
Aerosol Manufacturers’ Association funding.
The Manual and Video sold out and have not been
available for a while. As a service to the drugs field, educari
is reissuing the video.
This reissue of the Video includes the Trainer’s
Manual on diskette in Word and pdf (Adobe Acrobat) format.
