Remote Learning: Overview of Dual Diagnosis

Date: 13 October 2021

Time: 09.30 - 16.30 (CET-1)

This one day course on Dual Diagnosis will be delivered live online by subject expert Dr. Seán Foy, using Zoom.  The training sets out to provide a clear overview of Dual Diagnosis Disorders and its implications for treatment and practice. Seán has specialised in the areas of Addiction and Mental Health over the last 25 years and continues to be heavily involved in this area in his work as a clinical psychologist. He has recently delivered a briefing on Dual Diagnosis to the Oireachtas Group on Drug Policy Reform. 

‘Dual Diagnosis’ is the term used when a person suffers from both a drug and/or alcohol issue and a mental health issue. Traditionally there has been much debate as regards the best way to treat clients and service users who have a dual diagnosis. This debate has resulted in clients being treated (in some cases) in two separate services. The American Medical Association states that up to 37% of alcohol abusers and 53% of drug abusers have at least one mental health diagnosis.

This remote training course will allow you to interact with Sean and other participants in a virtual classroom where, in addition to the workshop content there will be live discussions, question & answer sessions and skills practice.
