CBT based relapse prevention

This is a 2 day in-house course (we come to you).

Available for individual staff members on our open programme in Bristol (you come to us) and as a 1 day in-house course (we come to you).

Training will be delivered face-to-face with Covid-safety measures and clear guidance in place.

If for any reason the course cannot be delivered face-to-face, we will take a flexible and responsive approach to keep people learning by delivering the training on the same day as a live interactive online session or transferring bookings to the next available dates.
