Alcohol Awareness
Half day / 3.5 hours
This half day training (3.5 hours) is suitable for anyone wishing to learn more about alcohol, alcohol abuse and alcohol dependency. In terms of the known damage caused to physical and mental health, family life, relationships and to society in general (violence, crime, impact on employment), alcohol is the most damaging substance of abuse known.
This half day training will include: the impact of excessive drinking on physical and psychological health; defining an alcohol problem; ‘safe’ and ‘unsafe’ alcohol consumption, how excessive drinking ‘rewires’ the brain and leads to further abuse and addiction; and the support required to help in the recovery from alcohol abuse and dependency.
