Dealing with Drug-Related Crises – with access e.V.

The consumption of alcohol or other drugs is a part of nightlife, yet the euphoric high is often fragile. Mixing substances, overconfidence, and complex social dynamics frequently lead to crisis situations among guests. This workshop provides both security and other staff in the club industry with foundational knowledge about common party drugs and legally sound procedures for handling drug-induced crises. Through the exchange of experiences, key challenges and uncertainties in dealing with such crises and overdoses are identified. The ultimate goal is to practice communication strategies that are low-barrier and non-hierarchical, thereby enabling safe and appropriate action in the event of a crisis. In doing so, we will reflect on our own resources as well as our own limits, with a focus on finding solutions. The workshop is led by members of the Access Network. The network brings together doormen and women from various Berlin clubs with a progressive approach to their work, as well as people from the awareness sector.
