Needs and skills assessment

In December 2020 ReShape/IHP (United Kingdom), AFEW International, Humanitarian Action Foundation (Russia) and Mainline brought together 10 organisations from 5 countries in the EECA region.

Participants shared their (professional) experiences with chemsex during two inspiring sessions. We identified existing interventions and additional needs for services in the five countries.

The start of a learning series

Based on the insights from the first two sessions, Mainline designed a chemsex learning series. Participants from across the region applied to be part of the series and the first online training on harm reduction and chemsex was organised on 5 July 2021.

After the first baseline trainings, at least one learning visits will be organised - either in St. Petersburg or in Moscow - allowing for direct coaching on the job by the Mainline team. The series concludes with further online coaching and individual follow-up.
