(Drug and Alcohol) Responders
Do you regularly come across people with drug and/or alcohol problems in your line of work?
Would you like to be able to offer advice, information and support in these circumstances?
We can help you to help …
Training
The Public Health Agency (PHA) and the five local Drug and Alcohol Coordination Teams (DACTs) across Northern Ireland recognise the important role that those working in wider support services can and should play in relation to supporting people to become more aware of their issues in relation to alcohol and/or drug misuse and, most importantly, to seek help.
We have developed our one day Drug and Alcohol Responder course because we know that with the right information, training and support people will have the confidence to ask the right questions and to signpost people in the right direction.
Awareness
Basic drug and alcohol awareness
Information
On the types of services and support available in the locality and how to access them
Trained Responders are also encouraged and supported by their local DACT Connections service to take part in our regional initiatives such as ‘Dry January, Feel Good February’ and Northern Ireland’s ‘Alcohol Awareness Week’ (third week in June every year).
