Insightful Families - Training
Part of the Insightful Families Project is to train Haringey professionals to better identify and support families affected by parental alcohol use.
This training provided tools to help assess parental drinking and intervention to help them explore the impact drinking has on their family. Families are supported to build resilience using the Anchor Approach.
40 professionals have been trained and we plan to provide more training in the future. Below are the tools and training materials:
- Parental Alcohol Screening and Brief Intervention - Training Pack (PDF, 788KB)
- Alcohol Assessment and Brief Advice Tool (PDF, 514KB)
- Resilience Tool - Alcohol Themes (PDF, 173KB)
