Positive Practice Partnership is a social enterprise, and subsidiary of the charity PROPS North East.
We also deliver bespoke Drug and Alcohol Awareness Training to services and organisations who directly or indirectly support people affected by drug or alcohol addictions, such as housing associations or businesses that want to raise awareness to their employees.
Our Community Reinforcement Approach trainers and accreditors are academically verified and supported by Dr Robert Meyers, Research Associate Professor Emeritus in Psychology at the US Centre on Alcoholism, Substance Use and Addictions (CASAA) and developer and researcher of CRA as well as patron of PROPS North East and Positive Practice.
Positive Practice Partnership delivers bespoke training packages across the country to meet individual services’ needs.
Two-day programmes are delivered by Helen Thompson, our trainer and supervisor and experienced PROPS worker. She qualified with Dr Robert Meyers as a practitioner, trainer, supervisor and coder of CRAFT, CRA and ACRA.
PROPS is the only UK organisation endorsed by Dr Robert Meyers to deliver training in all three disciplines. Helen Thompson was the first practitioner in the UK to become qualified in CRAFT, CRA and ACRA.
Multi-service and bespoke in-house courses are organised, with in-depth instruction given to delegates so they have a solid working knowledge of CRA, ACRA or CRAFT to augment their current practice.
The programme is designed for front-line workers, service and line managers, and commissioners of recovery-oriented treatment systems and family and carer services.
Accreditation: Delegates can become accredited practitioners, supported by Positive Practice in demonstrating their competence in applying and using core procedures to a set global standard.
This training is aimed at workers who are supporting people (affected others) who are affected by someone else’s drug or alcohol use.
The overall aim of this course is to raise participants awareness of drug and alcohol use, how they are used and the effects.
The CRA program supports people with drug or alcohol addictions by using functional analysis and positive reinforcement to promote lifestyle changes and ongoing treatment engagement.
Please contact us for more information or to book on to any of our training programmes.
