Professional Training Rooted in Practice

At Early Break, we believe that every professional deserves access to high-quality, accessible training that equips them to work confidently with young people and families.

We have developed a range of training courses relating to drug and alcohol misuse and emotional health and wellbeing.

Our training courses are designed by experienced practitioners and rooted in real-world frontline delivery. Whether you work in health, education, social care, youth services or the voluntary sector, our sessions will deepen your knowledge, enhance your confidence, and improve outcomes for the people you support.

We deliver training in person, online, and on-site, tailored to your team, learners, and goals.

“The Early Break facilitators were brilliant, engaging, knowledgeable, and very aware of the real-world challenges professionals face.”
— Youth Service Manager, Greater Manchester
