2 May I start...
...at Boost as a substance use specialist. Through my work as a prevention expert, I try to make people, who (want to) use substances, aware of the risks that can occur. But also when use seems to become problematic, I can help to change this together with the person who seeks help. In up to four sessions, we try to accomplish behavioural change regarding substance use. When necessary and desired, I can advise to seek more (other) help.
In these days...
...of excessive supply of various types of drugs, screen use, alcohol use and its accessibility, I think it is important to inform students. They need to know that they can get accessible help when needed and there is a place at Boost where you can walk in with questions about these issues.
The sessions at Boost...
....can be anonymous. We organise open walk-ins as well as appointments. You don’t need a referral from your doctor and there’s no file being compiled. After the session, we can make a follow-up appointment. Together, we will set-up a plan to achieve a goal. The goal is decided by the student. They are in control of the help they want. There is no obligation and it is entirely voluntary.
You are welcome...
...with all kinds of questions related to the topics of drugs, alcohol, screen use (gaming, social media etc) and gambling. Questions for yourself or for someone else. For example, if you have questions about your own alcohol use, drug use, as well as questions about drugs you want to try and information about substance use, I am there for you.
