Wollongong University in Partnership with Royal North Shore Hospital and Community Mental Health and Drug & Alcohol Services

This is a two part course intended for people engaged in treatment services, with places made available in all sessions for "other stakeholders" ~ notably members of families with a dually diagnosed member.

  • Part 1: an intensive 5 day course with input from service users, and from Dual Diagnosis programmes in NSW and overseas through real-time video conferencing. The course covers history, theory, models of treatment, philosophy, interventions and strategies at a personal and systems level.
  • Part 2: supervision of participants during a six month case management project. This involves monthly educational sessions developing themes encountered in the intensive 5 day workshop and oversight of the case management project.

Courses were previously conducted at the University Centre, Sydney, but more recently they have taken place in Wollongong. Cost as at December 2001 is $770.00

The course is closely associated with The Damp House Project
