| The aim of this unit is to equip students with an understanding of, and essential skills in, counselling and individual/group intervention approaches for working with people experiencing alcohol and other drug problems.
The unit has been designed for students in the areas of psychology, social work, nursing, sociology, education, Indigenous and community services. Studies in Alcohol and Other Drugs (AOD) are multi-disciplinary, drawing on knowledge from psychology, nursing, social work, sociology, education, anthropology, criminology, economics, politics, Indigenous studies, law and popular culture. For this reason, this unit is relevant to students employed in or wishing to be employed in any of these or related areas.
There are, many challenges for professionals working in the AOD field. This unit will facilitate student's development of the high-level critical analysis skills required to appraise public health evidence and identify effective responses to complex health and social issues in multidisciplinary teams.
