These training sessions focus on how to conduct screening, brief intervention and referral to treatment (SBIRT) for alcohol and other illicit drug use. Attendees gained knowledge and skills in assessment, screening, brief interventions, and referral to treatment for substance use disorders. Training in SBIRT basics was combined with our training in Motivational Interviewing (MI), where providers can gain knowledge and skills in MI techniques in order to promote behavior change related to substance use disorders. Such skills in SBIRT and MI are expected to improve HIV outcomes through increased detection and intervention of co-occurring alcohol or drug use disorders.

This is a closed training for counsellors and social workers for SANCA-Lowveld, NICRO and Child Line.
