Addiction comes in many forms and impacts many of us – either directly or indirectly. Recovery is possible for everyone, but it helps to understand what can lead a person into addiction, and what it takes for a person to change. Addiction 101 PLUS has the answers.

Addiction 101 PLUS is our standard Addiction 101 workshop, with the bonus addition of expertly designed pre- and post-workshop learning booklets for enhanced education. Participants who attend the Addiction 101 PLUS workshop, complete the follow up e-learning and quiz will receive a NZQA micro-credential certificate. They will also have this small qualification (Level 1, 1 credit) added to their NZQA record of achievement.

Addiction 101 PLUS is designed to increase knowledge and understanding while also reducing the stigma of addiction at home, work, and everyday life.

Get a better understanding of addiction and recovery, and the confidence to respond supportively using skills you already have. You’ll learn what can lead people into addiction, what strategies can help them to change, how to support a person experiencing addiction challenges and practical ways to look after yourself while you do.

Addiction 101 is designed for adults 18 years old and over.
