Workshop Objectives:

• Gain knowledge of successful 'Models of Change' for supporting families affected by someone’s drug issues.
• Identify the 5 stages that families experience and effective ways to respond.
• Learn how to communicate more effectively with families in a work and/or professional situation.
• Develop understanding and gain skills to assist families to build resilience and improve the outcome for both the person who uses the drug and the family.
• Recognise the importance of psycho-social education for a family, in relation to the significant barriers they may face.

Bookings are essential.
