Hi, thank you for your interestin our Self Paced 12 hourS.A.M.H.I. Advanced Dual Diagnosis Training(Substance Abuse & Mental Health Interventions),which is the next level after our 2 hour S.A.M.H.I.Chemically Speaking Two(Brief Intervention) training program.

This training is also tax deductible as a work related expense and enables people to maintain professional development and upskilling.

If people want a certificate of attendance and also qualify for 12 points of CPD (Continuing Professional Development) for their professional peak body (APS, ACA, AASW, CPA, PACFA, ACWA etc), they need to complete the full intensive training. If people obtain the promotional rate from Udemy, then they receive a certificate from Udemy at the completion of this course.

If your peak body requires a certificate from the Optimal Health Group instead, participants need to pay the normal fee of $195 from the link on our website (dualdiagnosistraining . com . au);

If you need a certificate from Optimal Health Group, please contact us on [email protected] to enrol and pay the difference between the promotional rate and the normal $195.

This advanced training covers all of the current evidence based, best practice in the Alcohol & Other Drugs (AOD) and Mental Health from an integrated, holistic framework.

In June2018, S.A.M.H.I. launched its 6 module,12 hour course on Dual Diagnosis Training (www.samhi.online). This training will equip workers to be able to deliver brief & early interventions to people struggling with substance abuse and mental health issues, as well as advanced psychotherapeutic skills. This is the same as the comprehensive 2 day advancedtrainingthat is being delivered live across Australia and explained on ourDual Diagnosis Training Australian website;

The reason why S.A.M.H.I Dual Diagnosis Training has gone online is to expand the coverage of the highly acclaimed, comprehensive 2 day advanced DualDiagnosisTraining designed and presented by George Patriki. George and many of his staff will be still conducting live training under the banner of Dual Diagnosis Trainingin conjunction with the online adapted S.A.M.H.I course. We have very specifically and deliberately made this course very affordable at $195. This is half price. Join with us to address the alarming substance abuse and the co-morbid mental health issues that are rising in our communities across Australia and overseas.
