apas has developed a range of Professional Services designed to assist organisations, employees and managers in maximising understanding and reducing the risks and harm associated with alcohol and gambling related issues, paticularly in a work environment.
Whether you are simply looking to raise awareness within an organisation through training or need help with designing and implementing company policy, apas have the skills and experience to help you.
We specialise in bespoke alcohol, drug and gambling awareness training courses for organisations at all levels. These can be anything from a two-hour lunchtime session to a complete training course over several days. Our courses are aimed to be informative, interactive and interesting. We believe that by engaging with people rather than preaching to them promotes a more efficient means of understanding.
We are proficient in reviewing existing drug and alcohol poilcy in the workplace. In the absence of a suitable policy we can write and implement policy on behalf of the organisation and provide full back up support if required.
We have extensive experience of compiling legal reports for employers and solicitors in relation to alcohol
and gambling related issues.
We can provide on-site counselling for individuals experiencing problems or can act as a priority referral service if appropriate.
apas have established links with medical professionals experienced in dealing with alcohol and drug abuse. If necessary we can facilitate a confidential testing service for drugs and alcohol in line with company policy.
