Join us for the 2026 NSC Sobering Summit as we gather under the theme “Gateway to the Future of Sobering Care.” This year’s Summit marks a pivotal moment for the field—one defined by growth, clarity, and a shared commitment to quality and accountability.
This interactive training prepares peers/professionals to implement developmentally appropriate, educational support programming for children impacted by a parent or caregiver with a substance use disorder (SUD).
We know that substance use can have a profound impact on babies, children, parents and family relationships, at all ages and stages, but particularly during pregnancy and the early years.
This course explores Hidden Harm, the often unseen impact of parental substance use on children and young people. It supports professionals and volunteers to recognise both the immediate and long-term effects on children, even when families appear to be coping.
Families affected by substance use often experience cycles of stress, worry, guilt, anger, and helplessness. These emotional responses are entirely understandable, yet over time they can become patterns that affect wellbeing, relationships, and decision-making.
Dates: Thursday 12 November and Friday 13 November
Location: Crowne Plaza Newcastle, Stephenson Quarter, Newcastle upon Tyne, NE1 3SA
Schedule: The programme is currently in development. The SSA can confirm that the Society Lecture and poster session will take place on Thursday 12 November.
It is our great pleasure to welcome you to the 32nd International Conference on Psychiatry, Mental Disorders & Psychosomatic Medicine, taking place on November 23–24, 2026, in London, UK.
