Solution Focussed Therapy
“We are on the brink of shifting from long-standing pathology and intervention paradigms to a solution-focused recovery paradigm"
William White (2007)
As the drug and alcohol field becomes more recovery focussed, it becomes essential for drug and alcohol practitioners to be able to offer effective psychosocial interventions that help move people forwards on their recovery journey. There is a clear link between solution-focussed approaches and a recovery orientation. It makes sense for drug and alcohol practitioners to skill themselves up in solution focussed psychosocial approaches.
Summary
If you work in the drug and alcohol field you will be aware that around 50% of those people who present to your service will have co-existing mental health problems. Those with severe and enduring mental illness will usually be referred to mental health services. However, those with mild to moderate depression can be helped within drug and alcohol services.
This is an ideal follow-up course for drug and alcohol workers who have attended our dual diagnosis training. It assumes you already have good general psychosocial interventions skills.
This course is rooted in the real practice of drug and alcohol workers. It offers solution focussed skills as another tool in your skills toolbox to use alongside other approached such as ‘ITEP’ mapping, Motivational Interviewing and Relapse Prevention.
Suitable for drug & alcohol practitioners working with young people & adults
