Positive Practice Partnership delivers training, accreditation and consultancy for the Community Reinforcement Approach (CRA) designed for professionals working in drug and alcohol services.
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.
