Training for Professionals

Forward Leeds has a team that provides training and information around alcohol and drugs. This includes providing brief interventions in the workplace with people using your services or even colleagues.

This training is primarily aimed at:

  • Health and Social Care staff and similar organisations
  • Leeds City Council teams
  • Charities and third sector organisations

Training is being delivered virtually and in person; you can choose which you prefer. All of our training is completely free, provided your organisation is based in the City of Leeds local authority area. View a list of 2026 courses further down this page.
