SUMMARY:Substance Misuse Crisis Recovery and Implementing Wellness Plans
DESCRIPTION:Course fee: HCPA Standard Member: Fully funded*\nAssociate/Network Member: £37.50+VAT | Non-member: £75+VAT  \nOne day course at HCPA \nThis course is suitable for any organisation that support individuals who:\n• Has a mental health issue\n• Has experienced any form of crisis\n• Is in recovery\n• Or have either a known or suspected substance misuse issue \nThis is a 2-part full day course that covers substance misuse in the morning. The afternoon will cover crisis\, recovery\, and wellness plans. \nPlease note\, the substance misuse course has been co-designed with a professional from Change Grow Live Drug and Alcohol Service to raise awareness and consider how professionals can work and communicate with people with a mental illness and who misuse substances. It is not designed to train professionals to become drug and alcohol workers as these roles are highly specialised. \nIt will help learners to understand some of the many reasons why people misuse both legal and illegal substances. Learners will have an opportunity to learn briefly about a wide range of substances however\, focus will be placed on those substances most prevalent to Hertfordshire. \nLearners will have opportunities to consider some of the barriers people face regardless of a formal diagnosis and how people can be supported through these barriers. \nSpotting the signs of substance misuse is not always easy as some signs can often mimic signs of mental disorders\, therefore the course will outline a wide range of signs and symptoms. \nThe course will offer advice on how to share your concerns with a person they may know or suspect of misusing substances and how to work collaboratively with the individual. \nFurther advice will be given to learners on practical support they can provide including harm-reduction methods\, providing good information and advice. \nIn the afternoon learners will have the opportunity to discuss as part of a wider group what is meant by the term crisis and the impact a crisis can have upon a person’s mental\, emotional and physical needs\, including the impact on upon “External structures” E.G. family\, work\, finances etc. \nLearners will then explore what is meant by the term recovery and will consider two models: personal recovery and clinical recovery. \nLearners will consider the difference between a lapse in a person’s recovery and a relapse\, and how individual perspectives on either can cause confusion or distress. Learners will then explore signs that could emerge across a range of domains\, E.G. mental\, emotional etc. \nLearners will understand that wellness plans are not a plan for them to complete\, they are the responsibility of the person who has mental health difficulties/in recovery. \nLearners will look at the 5 principles of wellness plans and consider how\, through individual support\, group support etc\, individuals can be helped\, where needed\, to capture important information about their own crisis\, their own recovery and what helps and hinders their continued journey. \nLearning objectives – Substance misuse:\n• Understand what is meant by the term substance misuse\, types of legal and illegal substances people misuse including how to recognise them by their real or street name\, paraphernalia associated with their use and the immediate and long term affects of their use.  \n• Raise awareness of Naloxone\, an anti-overdose drug for opioids\, types and an introduction to how its administered for educational purposes only\, how to spot the signs of an opioid overdose and what to do.   \n• Consider the barriers to support people may face including stigma\, personal and healthcare systems and what we can do to help an individual to start to overcome these barriers.  \n• Spotting some of the signs and symptoms of drug abuse and learners will have an opportunity to identify and share through their own knowledge and experience\, other potential signs.  \n• How to constructively share your concerns with a person who you either know or suspect of misusing substances.\n• Consider several tips of how to work collaboratively with an individual.  \n• Consider statutory and non-statutory services and their referral pathways.  \n• 1-1 interventions \n• Recovery \n• Care and support planning.  \nLearning objectives – Crisis Recovery and Wellness Plans:\n• To understand what is meant by the term “Crisis”. \n• To consider how a mental health crisis may look and feel. \n• Consider what is meant by the term recovery. \n• Consider the differences between personal and clinical recovery and how these interact with one another.  \n• Look at the importance of self-management and support networks in recovery.  \n• Discuss the differences between lapse and relapse and what this can mean for recovery.  \n• A step-by step guide to how wellness plans are completed. \n• Group reflection on how wellness plans can be introduced to your organisation. \n \n*Please note: As per our T&C’s\, this course carries a fee in the event of non-attendance\, non-completion or late cancellation.\nBookings of more than two delegates per site may be amended to allow access to all member organisations at the discretion of HCPA.\nDelegates who are late may not be admitted into the training and a cost incurred
