Executive Summary:

Dual diagnosis is generally viewed as a difficult presentation to treat. Frequently the patient may be resistant to the idea of illness, disillusioned with conventional medication, and resigned to 'self-medicating'. Other times, such patients simply cannot see there is a problem. To bring effective help in such a situation is a very skilled task, and the focus of this course.

What you receive as a result of attending the training:

You will be registered as having attended the course, thereby gaining APT's Level 1 accreditation, and receive a certificate to this effect.

Option 3: 'Train the Trainer':

If you or a colleague are a senior professional (e.g. consultant psychologist) and have a talent for communication and teaching, then you are welcome to apply to become an APT-accredited tutor. You could then tutor the course - or your chosen modules from it - in your own organization, under license.

This is not only a highly appropriate use of senior professionals, but it also saves your organization the tutor-component of the fee each time you run it or your chosen modules (50% of the 'Online Live and Exclusive' fee, regardless of whether the course is held face-to-face or online).
