Working with concerned others (online for teams)
Develop core skills to assist concerned others to motivate resistant loved ones into drug and alcohol treatment and make improvements to their own lives.
This is a 2 day online course delivered in-house (for teams).
Evidence suggests that supporting family members not only helps the families themselves but also improves treatment take up, retention and outcomes for drug users.
Based on the proven Parent & Carers Training pack (PACT), the course dispels the myth that nothing can be achieved until the problem user decides to change themselves, and gives workers the skills to assist concerned others to motivate resistant loved ones into treatment and make improvements to their own lives.
