A Training Package has been developed to facilitate the implementation of the "Guidelines on the management of co-occurring alcohol and other drug and mental health conditions in alcohol and other drug treatment settings" in clinical practice. The Training Package was developed by Alison Bell for the National Drug and Alcohol Research Centre (NDARC) with funding from the Australian Government Department of Health and Ageing.
The aim of the Training Package is to provide clinical educators, team leaders and other suitably qualified personnel to deliver training on the Guidelines within the workplace. It is hoped that by delivering targeted, workplace based training on the information within the Guidelines, AOD and related professionals will significantly improve their knowledge, skills and confidence when working with clients with co-occurring AOD and mental health concerns.
The Training Package has been divided into 6 sessions:
1. Overview of the Guidelines and Comorbidity
2. Classification of Mental Health Disorders
3. Assessment of Comorbidity
4. Management and Treatment of Comorbidity
5. Working Collaboratively
6. Specific Population Groups
The training package may be downloaded by following the links on the Guidelines website http://ndarc.med.unsw.edu.au/comorbidity or by clicking here.
