Crack Cocaine workshop

January '08

15 workers from locally based drug projects took part in a two day intensive Crack Cocaine workshop, organised by the Clondalkin Drugs Task Force and facilitated by Christopher Robin and Kenneth Jordan of Janus Solutions based in the UK. Christopher and Kenneth have worked in this field for several years and have an excellent understanding of the issues associated with Crack Cocaine. All participants found both days very informative, creative and useful for their daily work.
