Increase your confidence and provide advanced intervention for families with alcohol and other drug issues
Deep dive into effective ways of working with families and 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.
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 provides a deep dive into the Orford stress-strain-information-coping-support model, combining elements of the Orford and the Velleman 5-step model.
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.
Learning outcomes:
- Understand models of family functioning and how that affects treatment
- Describe the stress-strain-information-coping-support model for working with families and how to use it in practice
- Establish a collaboration and utilise it to improve outcomes for people in treatment and their families
- Know how to utilise families' wisdom and coping to achieve improved outcomes
- Implement effective responses to the challenges of working with families
Who should attend:
This is an advanced skills workshop suitable for experienced and advanced practitioners. We recommend you do our Working with families workshop before attending this workshop. This workshop is suitable for workers in clinical settings.
