Our Homeless Service training courses

Our Homeless Service training teams offer two courses. Each course equips attendees with the skills and confidence to step forward in the moments that matter and to help save lives.

The courses are available in Brighton and Hove, East Sussex, and West Sussex, at venues that homeless and vulnerably housed people can easily access and feel safe in.

First aid for overdose

Who should attend

Homeless and vulnerably housed people.

What you’ll learn

This course teaches essential first aid, including CPR and the recovery position. However, the focus of the course looks at the importance of recognising a drug overdose as early as possible and teaches how to give first aid and call for an ambulance. It looks at the risks associated with overdoses, how to recognise when someone is overdosing, and what to do to help them. Safe practice is also included.
