Some of our team participated in SAOR training yesterday from the HSE. SAOR is a Screening and Brief Intervention Project for Alcohol and Substance Use. We explored the framework and practiced the techniques we learned.
SAOR (Support, Ask and Assess, Offer Assistance, Refer) offers a step-by-step guide for practice, to guide workers in using a person-centred approach throughout their conversation, encounter or engagement with a person using their service. SAOR supports workers from their first point of contact with a person using their service to enable them to deliver brief interventions and to facilitate those presenting with more complex needs with entry into treatment programmes in line with the National Drug Rehabilitation Framework.
Great thanks to Amy and Mella for the engaging and supportive training!
