The Self-Paced 12-hour Advanced Dual Diagnosis Training offers an invaluable opportunity for individuals seeking to deepen their understanding of substance abuse and mental health interventions. Building upon the foundational knowledge acquired in the Chemically Speaking Two (Brief Intervention) training programme, this advanced course delves into evidence-based practices in alcohol and other drug (AOD) treatment and mental health interventions within an integrated, holistic framework. Participants will gain comprehensive insights into the complexities of dual diagnosis and develop advanced psychotherapeutic skills to effectively address the needs of individuals struggling with co-occurring substance abuse and mental health issues.
One of the key strengths of this course lies in its thorough coverage of a wide range of topics relevant to dual diagnosis interventions. From understanding the cycle of addiction and the effects of various substances to exploring the intersection between addictions and mental health, participants will acquire a holistic understanding of the underlying issues driving addictive behaviours. Modules on harm minimisation, optimal health, and neuropharmacology provide valuable insights into pharmacotherapies, neuroplasticity, and the neurophysiological mechanisms underlying addiction and mental health disorders. By equipping participants with a nuanced understanding of these concepts, the course empowers them to deliver effective interventions and support individuals on their journey towards recovery.
Moreover, the course offers practical guidance on implementing brief and early interventions, as well as strategies for engaging individuals in various stages of change. Participants will learn how to navigate the complexities of dual diagnosis treatment, address ambivalence, and facilitate family support groups. By integrating evidence-based practices with an integrative holistic approach, the course ensures that participants are equipped with the knowledge and skills needed to deliver comprehensive, person-centred care. Whether participants are healthcare professionals, counsellors, or community workers, this course provides valuable insights and practical tools to enhance their effectiveness in supporting individuals with dual diagnosis and promoting holistic well-being.
