Increase your confidence and provide advanced interventions for families with alcohol and other drug issues

Working with families can be complex and challenging. Providing effective support for multiple people, often with very different perspectives, raises the difficulty level for practitioners.

Building on our Working with Families with Alcohol and Other Drug Issues workshop, this masterclass prepares you to use a proven method for effectively engaging and working with families. It takes a deep dive into the Orford stress-strain-information-coping-support model, combining elements of the Orford and the Velleman 5-step model.

Deep dive into effective ways of working with families, deepen your understanding, and learn effective frameworks to get great outcome with families. You will walk away with the skills and confidence you need to support families and improve outcomes in your individual clients.

Blend key ideas from family therapy, motivational interviewing and cognitive behaviour therapy to work more effectively with the families and carers of people who use alcohol and other drugs.
