Training: Alcohol Information and Brief Advice (IBA) training opportunity available

Barnsley Recovery Steps have launched new Alcohol Information and Brief Advice (IBA) training in collaboration with Public Health and the Barnsley Alcohol Alliance.
 
The training is aimed at professionals who work with residents across the borough and looks to:
• Provide professionals with the skills and confidence to encourage conversations about individual’s drinking behaviours
• Develop skills and knowledge in identifying harmful drinking, offering brief advice and support to enable individuals to make informed choices regarding their drinking
• Increase awareness of support options and how to make appropriate referrals to specialist services where applicable
 
Even if your client does not need long term interventions, offering brief advice and discussing someone’s drinking in an open, honest and non-judgmental way is a proven and cost-effective way to reduce the harms related to alcohol use.
 
The sessions will take place on the last Friday of every month from 10am until 12.30pm and have a cap of 30 attendees. Upcoming sessions will be delivered online and can be accessed remotely.
 
To book your place, please email hopetraining@humankindcharity.org.uk.
