Place provides you the opportunity to addresses the harsh realities of preventing addiction.

Please don't hesitate to contact Kenilworth Place if you would like us to develop a tailor-made programme specifically for your school or business.

INDUSTRY

Addiction and substance abuse affects us all in our daily lives. Occurrences such as absenteeism, poor work performance, increase in risk of accidents, decreased productivity, disciplinary problems, dissatisfied customers, lack of motivation, dishonesty and theft, all have a detrimental effect on business.

By introducing life-skills, employee wellness and the prevention of substance abuse, a healthy and productive work environment is nurtured.

We strive to achieve balance and good mental health by immunizing or 'drug-proofing' your employees through the use of topics such as stress inoculation, relaxation training, problem solving skills and assertiveness training.

We have specially tailored courses, workshops and seminars to meet the specific needs of your company. Senior management will be trained in identifying substance abuse and the management of the problems this leads to.

Middle management will receive training in the recognition and awareness of drug and alcohol abuse. Staff members will also receive the necessary training.

EDUCATION

'Everyone's doing it, so why shouldn't I?' Peer pressure is a powerful motivator in the absence of information that can change and save lives. Our vision is to empower youth towards making healthy and informed decisions.

We achieve this through a highly effective adolescent programme involving life-skills, group work and therapeutic activities. We also provide, for our young adults, a range of courses designed to heighten their awareness of the dangers and to educate them in the prevention of substance abuse.

Teachers play a vital role in imparting information. We offer a programme, which equips the teacher to deal with confronting substance related issues.

THE HEALTH CARE PROFESSION

The rate at which substance abuse is accelerating places an enormous amount of pressure on health care professionals to provide solutions. We have accredited courses for health care professionals that deal with the many spheres of addiction
