August 2005 Working with the children and families of problem alcohol users: a Toolkit

This Toolkit has been prepared by Lorna Templeton, Sarah Zohhadi and Professor Richard Velleman, who work for the Alcohol, Drugs and the Family Research Programme at the Bath Mental Health Research and Development Unit, a joint unit between the University of Bath and the Avon & Wiltshire Mental Health Partnership NHS Trust; and Dr Jane Powell from the University of the West of England in Bristol. It has been designed to provide guidance on developing and delivering services to children and families who are affected by substance misuse.

Visit the Final Reports section to see the toolkit

Since this toolkit was produced with the aim that it will be used as a resource, we are keen to find out what people think of it, and in what ways it has been used (particularly if it has been used to change practice in any way). When you have examined and used the Toolkit we would be grateful if you could complete a brief Questionnaire - click here for Toolkit Questionnaire. (Microsoft Word Document)
