Relapse prevention is about building the capacity of individuals to maintain and sustain positive changes with their substance use.

This Zoom workshop is designed for practitioners who provide direct support to people with AOD concerns who wish to better understand and communicate strategies, tools and techniques that can help someone stay in recovery through the prevention and management of lapses and relapses. It is an interactive workshop with opportunities to practice and apply concepts covered.

This Relapse Prevention and Management training involves a blended learning program consisting of three sessions – one self-directed e-Learning module and two interactive Zoom workshops. We recommend participants complete the e-Learning module in the week prior to the first workshop which should take approximately one hour. The Zoom workshops runs for 3 hours and build on the topics covered in the introductory e-Learning module and offer opportunities for further application and practice. The best learning outcomes will be achieved through completing these sessions in order.

By the end of this workshop learners will be able to:

• Understand and communicate strategies for managing cravings, drug-refusal, self-regulation and associated cognitive based relapse prevention approaches
• Understand and communicate healthy lifestyle skills, including how to maintain supports and connections.
