1/2 day session

This workshop will cover a brief (2 or 3 sessions) motivational and cognitive-behavioural intervention which is designed for young cannabis users, irrespective of their treatment seeking status.

This workshop is suitable for youth workers and others who have basic counselling skills and would benefit from a structured intervention to work with young people who have cannabis use problems. Participants will need an understanding of motivational enhancement techniques, as they will be taken through the structured ACCU intervention process and familiarised with the various assessment tools.

The objective of the workshop is to enable participants to implement an evidence-based motivational enhancement intervention with their own client population.
