Continuing Professional Development (CPD) Training - Adult Children of Alcoholics (ACoA)
Are you a therapist, counsellor, health or social care professional, or educator looking to deepen your understanding and enhance your ability to support Adult Children of Alcoholics (ACoA)?
If you are, this specialised training is designed just for you.
It is estimated that one in five children grow up in a household with an alcohol problem.
Once they reach adulthood they will continue to face unique needs and challenges but with far less support, and few professionals fully understand the emotional, mental and relational impact of growing up in an alcoholic home.
As an experienced psychotherapist with lived experience as an ACoA, I wanted to use my dual perspective to develop training which offers a depth of understanding that goes beyond conventional academic learning.
By blending my personal insight with professional expertise, I’ve created a course that provides a profound understanding of a forgotten client group, and which is highly practical and directly applicable to your working practices.
What you will gain
-
In-depth knowledge & understanding - explore the complexities and nuances of ACoA issues, including common behavioural patterns, characteristics, emotional struggles, and coping mechanisms
-
Enhanced empathy & insight - gain a deeper, more empathetic understanding of your clients' experiences, to build stronger therapeutic alliances
-
Practical tools & techniques - learn trauma-informed approaches and interventions to support ACoA clients, and to build trust and rapport with them
-
Relatable working strategies – to create a safe and supportive space for healing, growth and empowerment, to help them to break free from dysfunctional patterns and to lead fulfilling lives
There are two ways to experience this training – live and in-person with me and a small group of other practitioners, or in a pre-recorded video course that you can watch at a time to suit you.
Live session training dates
The live in-person training offers a unique opportunity to immerse yourself fully in the learning experience, surrounded by like-minded professionals in a supportive and engaging environment.
With dedicated time set aside, you can focus entirely on deepening your understanding and building practical skills. It also allows for real-time interaction, questions, and collaboration, making it an invaluable addition to your professional development.
