This course is for anyone who works with adults and older people and will help you:
- Understand that self harm is included as part of the criteria defining an adult at risk of harm
- See beyond problematic alcohol & drugs use, (that may be part of a presenting problem), to ask if the adult may be at risk of harm
- Appreciate the impacts and risks of problematic alcohol and / or drugs use when an adult may have been harmed
- Consider how to respond in a way that is most likely to provide most benefit for the adult.
- Understand the complexity of issues that may arise
- Teacher: Elaine Berrick
