About this Event

Alcohol Awareness & Brief Intervention Course

This presentation offers a comprehensive look into the role of alcohol in our community, examining various attitudes, values, and perceptions surrounding alcohol use. Attendees will gain a deeper understanding of the prevalence of alcohol use, with a focus on safer drinking guidelines and the significance of moderate consumption.

We will explore the diverse ways people engage with alcohol, from social and recreational drinking to patterns of misuse. A key element of the session is understanding harm reduction techniques that promote healthier choices, especially for those at risk of developing problematic drinking habits. This includes practical guidance on conducting extended brief interventions using tools like the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Tool. (AUDIT).

The presentation also covers the different profiles of drinkers, including social drinkers, binge drinkers, and those who are alcohol-dependent. We’ll look at the potential impacts of alcohol misuse, with particular focus on the physical effects, such as liver damage, and the implications of drinking during pregnancy, including the risk of Alcohol Foetal Syndrome (AFS).

By the end of the session, attendees will be better equipped to promote safe drinking practices and to support individuals in making informed decisions about alcohol use. This session is ideal for professionals who wish to improve their understanding of alcohol awareness and learn effective intervention strategies.
