Positive Practice Partnership delivers training, accreditation and consultancy for the evidence-based Community Reinforcement Approach (CRA) family of interventions designed for professionals working in drug and alcohol services – commissioners, service managers and family workers.
We are a social enterprise and subsidiary of the charity PROPS North East, which runs commissioned specialist drug and alcohol family services in Newcastle and North Tyneside and was established in 1997 by women concerned over the lack of local support for families of alcohol and drug misusers.
Our CRA 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.
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.
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.
