The training covers up-to-date evidenced based ATOD data and trends, detailed information about major drugs of dependence including harm reduction information and, stigma and discrimination towards people who use drugs. The training also includes basic knowledge on AOD issues in the community, AOD screening, brief intervention, treatment and referral to AOD service providers.

Bespoke ATOD workforce training

Bespoke training – training requests from the community sector, government or others can be tailored. This is usually either:

  • Adaptation of normal training, requiring minimal development time, or
  • Development of a new training package requiring more development time.

In either case training is oriented to the specific needs and requirements of the client/service and developed in consultation.

ATODA may also organise other types of training, e.g., webinars with a standard presentation followed by question-and-answer session, according to demand and by mutual agreement with the Senior Training Specialist (STS).

Please note: ATODA does not provide training to young people or schools/parent programs.

If you are interested in a bespoke training for your staff: please fill in the Training Enquiry Form and the training team at ATODA will respond accordingly.
