We are committed to serving people who suffer from drug and alcohol problems, by supporting the professionals who work with them face-to-face. As well as supplying materials and training, we offer on-going post-training consultation and profile analysis, to ensure, as far as possible, that professional workers receive support and encouragement, particularly when tackling difficult casework issues.
