Who should attend
This specialist skills workshop series is suitable for new, experienced and advanced practitioners in clinical mental health settings.
Build your skills in responding to people with alcohol and other drug problems in mental health settings
Comorbidity is the norm rather than the exception in mental health. In this new series of half day workshops designed specifically for the mental health sector, we cover what you need to know about alcohol and other drug presentations in your clients. Walk away with practical knowledge and skills to respond effectively to clients who experience co-occurring alcohol and other drug and mental health issues.
Deepen your understanding of co-occurring alcohol and other drug and mental health issues, and build your knowledge, confidence and skills to respond effectively. Learn all about current alcohol and other drug issues, evidence based treatments, and how to effectively incorporate best practice responses into mental health treatment for clients with alcohol and other drug issues.
Essential MI and Relapse Prevention
Learn about evidence based alcohol and other drug interventions that can be integrated into the mental health context. Improve your skills and confidence in adapting these key approaches to people with co-occurring mental health and alcohol and other drug issues.
