I can't recommend Stanmore's Professional Certificate in Health and Social Care Substance Abuse enough. As a practising social worker in the UK, the course content perfectly complemented my day-to-day responsibilities. The practical strategies for substance abuse intervention and the evidence-based approaches to treatment have significantly improved my ability to help clients. The resources provided were current and relevant, and the course layout was easy to navigate. I'm looking forward to implementing these new skills and knowledge in my practice.
