Course Description
The focus of the work is assisting clients to address their own issues.
On completion of this course, the worker will be able to respond appropriately to clients that have complex issues outside and in addition to the area of immediate focus, expertise or interests of the worker and their organisation. Completion of the course will also provide the worker with competence to make decisions as to whether to refer or retain the client.
The worker will first be able to make a decision as to whether a brief intervention is appropriate (instead of an immediate referral). The worker will be able to implement and monitor brief intervention strategies in a variety of community service contexts, with the primary aim of helping the client accept the intervention.
