ALCOHOL ADDICTION MID WALES

Alcohol Awareness Training

Many people do not realise what over indulging in alcohol can do to you both physically and psychologically. Over a number of years I have developed a training package that has proven to be extremely well received by those who have taken part.

I developed this course to train new addiction counsellors and to help other professionals to gain a better understanding of the effects of alcohol. Probation Officers, Youth Offending Officers, Royal Air Force staff, youth club members and residents of an alcohol and drug rehabilitation unit, are just some of the people that I have run these courses for.

This course would be a benefit to:

• Anyone concerned about their own or someone else's drinking
• Employers who have an alcohol policy
• Professionals who come into contact with clients who they suspect may have an alcohol addiction
• Schools
• Youth Clubs
• Counsellors wanting to add alcohol addiction to their skills

• What is alcohol?
• Myths and facts about alcohol
• Safe recommended drinking levels
• The effects of alcohol on the body
• Why do people relapse?
• What help is available
