Education & Training
The information on this page is intended to assist people who work with HED-using clients and people who use human enhancement drugs in obtaining reliable information. We provide a range of educational resources: from infographics on the use of performance and image enhancing drugs (e.g. what are common side-effects) to harm reduction materials (e.g. link to safer injecting video) and workshops to support healthcare professionals to better under people who use human enhancement drugs.
The aim of providing these materials is to (1) improve the knowledge of people working in the field of enhancement drugs, (2) better equip healthcare professionals to make contact with people who use enhancement drugs and how to best inform them, and (3) to educate people who are considering to use or who are using to make informed decisions.
