SAOR Screening and Brief Intervention Problem Alcohol and Substance Use

Next Training Day: Thursday, September 28th,  Via Zoom

SAOR Screening and Brief Intervention for Problem Alcohol and Substance Use (2017) is a step-by-step guide for practice developed in response to problem alcohol and other drug use. The model can be used in a wide variety of settings, including community, statutory, voluntary, justice and education services. By following this model, many professionals and volunteers have been given the confidence and competence to screen for problem alcohol and drug use and either engage in a brief intervention or refer to specialist services if necessary.

SAOR training is delivered in a 90 minute eLearning module followed by a 1-day skills based workshop delivered live online. SAOR training is FREE.

YOU MUST REGISTER TO ATTEND.

To express your interest in the one-day, skills-based training, delivered online, please email your name, role, organisation, email address & possible dates to the address below. You will receive information on how to access the SAOR II eLearning element.

Upon completion of the eLearning, please email your certificate to stephaniekane@nedrugtaskforce.ie, Once we receive your certificate, you will be registered for the virtual training.

On completion of this workshop, participants should be able to:

•       Apply the theory from the SAOR online module to their practice

•       Identify opportunities to conduct a brief intervention

•       Demonstrate appropriate brief intervention skills using the SAOR model

•       Identify appropriate alcohol and other drugs care pathways
