Relapse Prevention and Growing Recovery Capital
This highly interactive, practical workshop explores the process and stages of relapse. Participants will apply theory to practice and case studies.
Description
Aim
This workshop presents key information on the process and stages of relapse. It supports the idea that relapse can be anticipated and proactively responded to, in order to maintain change in the long-term.
The science and discussion around what constitute recovery has gained significant momentum over recent years, and this workshop presents current findings and models that can be applied to your area of practice. With a strong focus on AOD issues, the themes of the workshop also have relevance for anyone looking to better support someone to make and sustain all forms of behavioural change and health improvement.
It is designed for non-specialists, those who are new to the topic and also those who are wishing to further develop their understanding of relapse prevention techniques and recovery capital. This will be a highly interactive, practical workshop and participants will apply theory to practice and case studies.
