Course Content

One of the most challenging client groups to work with are those people with a number of different needs. These may include mental health problems, alcohol / drug misuse, learning difficulties, physical health concerns and criminal justice issues.

This one day course will enable participants to:

• understand what ‘ multiple needs’ means and why it is different from the earlier ‘dual diagnosis’ definition
• share models of good practice
• detail local resources and explain the difficulties in accessing traditional services
• provide some medical background to the issues
