Testimonial

"This course will allow me to have the confidence and the competence to be more involved in the clinical aspect of my client's recovery journey. The content has allowed me to gather more knowledge on the topics discussed and therefore I feel I am now able to incorporate this content into daily work to heighten my standard. The course will allow me to make informed decisions surrounding client’s treatment and has given the confidence to raise these judgements with other colleagues."

Amber W

Recovery Coordinator

"I currently volunteer with our local drug and alcohol service, pending a restructuring. This course will give me the confidence and credibility to apply for paid work. This course did meet my training objectives, particularly meeting and learning from a range of people working within drug and alcohol services."

"Completing this course will enable me to have a better awareness / understanding of the issues that drug users face and the much wider support groups some of these service users may have and some of the additional needs they may have. I thought the course was done well considering its all online, Very knowledgeable staff running the day and a good mix of people taking the course which is great as it allows a really diverse range of perspectives."
