Abstract:
With the development of peer support networks in the mental health system, formal training should be provided regarding the adverse effects of substance use. Four educational workshops were conducted with caregivers and consumer workers to increase their knowledge and confidence to support people with a dual diagnosis. Workshops were evaluated through presurvey and postsurvey. The workshops were well received, and postworkshop, participants reported fewer negative attitudes toward people with a dual diagnosis and increased understanding and knowledge regarding substance misuse. This study highlights the effectiveness of targeted workshops for caregivers and consumer workers and advocates that nurses take a more active role in educational projects involving stakeholders.
