Alcohol Brief Intervention Training
Client: Hampshire Drug and Alcohol Action Team
In early 2010 IWS secured a contract to deliver five two-day 'Train the Trainer' Brief Intervention (BI) workshops to wide range of practitioners.
The course was developed from the ground up and started by asking two key questions: What should a great BI training package include? And; how can we ensure implementation on the ground?
The course was well recieved by all who attended and feedback from the commissioner sums it up best:
"In developing and commissioning this training programme, we were looking for a trainer that would deliver a high quality, professional product, at a realistic price."
"Innovation with Substance delivered an exceptional product that was not only tailor made to our needs, but that was also flexible enough to meet the demands of the audience, through both pre-training questionnaires and also responding to needs on the day."
"The trainer (Matt Hayman) presented complex issues in an accessible fashion, allowing all delegates, regardless of previous knowledge, to learn something new. Feedback has been outstanding, with some of the training days attaining a perfect score on feedback forms."
Mike Webb, Alcohol Commissioning Officer, Hampshire DAAT.

Drug and alcohol awareness for a specialist education provider
Client: Cambian Education
In June 2008 Innovation With Substance provided a one day drug awareness session for 15 members of staff at Cambian Education, a provider of specialist residential education and care for young people with Autism and Asperger Syndrome.
After an initial needs assessment meeting with staff a training plan was developed. Topics included the most common drugs used by young people and the risk factors involved in the use of substances by young people with Autism and Asperger Syndrome.
The session was well received by staff with all 15 participants indicating they would recommend the session to others in a similar situation.
Comments included:
A well-planned training exercise delivered at an easy pace
Great fun!
Thanks very much Matt
Participants were also asked to score their level of drugs knowledge before and after the training (1 = poor, 10 = very good)
Before the session the average score was 5/10
After the session the average score was 9/10
