Certificate programme in community education in the field of addictions / by Louise Ellis.: JS4-1/1984-3E-PDF

"In the 1970's, the problem of alcohol and drug abuse in Newfoundland and Labrador was rapidly increasing due in part to inadequate addictions resources, especially in isolated communities. The Extension Service of Memorial University devised a training programme whereby community service workers throughout the province could gain both information about addictions and the communication skills necessary to alleviate the problem in their own communities. A series of Introductory Workshops laid the groundwork for a Certificate Programme, which was a two-year, part-time course involving both theory and practical experience. The programme has resulted in personal and professional development for the participants, a network of local resource people, and considerable impact on the social problem of addictions throughout the province"--Overview.
