One-day practical Workshop on Approaching People with
Mental Illness and a Comorbid Substance Abuse Problem

Dual Diagnosis is the term used to describe clients with both mental health problems and problematic drug and/or alcohol use. Clients with dual diagnosis have complex physical and psychosocial needs, which can often be exacerbated by their problematic drug and/or alcohol use. Working with this group of clients poses great challenge to social workers, nurses, counsellors, teachers and parents in various settings.
