HSE SAOR© SCREENING AND BRIEF INTERVENTION FOR PROBLEM ALCOHOL AND
SUBSTANCE USE
TRAIN THE TRAINER REQUEST FOR QUOTATION
BACKGROUND
HSE Social inclusion aims to reduce inequalities in health and improve
access to mainstream and targeted health services for vulnerable and
excluded groups in Ireland. HSE Social Inclusion provides a range of
services to support vulnerable groups, including people who use drugs
and alcohol.
SAOR Screening and Brief Intervention for Problem Alcohol and
Substance Use ( *) is a step-by-step guide for
practice developed in response to problem alcohol and other drug use.
Originally developed in * for alcohol in
hospital emergency settings, the successful application of the model
led to the addition of problem drug use and the promotion and use of
the model in a wide variety of settings, including community,
statutory, voluntary, justice and education services.
SAOR is a brief intervention model which uses a person-centred
approach based on Motivational Interviewing to have a conversation
with a person about their drug or alcohol use. SAOR supports workers
from their first point of contact with a person to enable them to
deliver brief interventions and to facilitate those presenting with
more complex needs with entry into specialist services.
A key priority for the HSE National Social Inclusion Office is to
support and report on the implementation of the SAOR programme,
including supporting the delivery of SAOR training nationally.
Current SAOR trainers are from a range of sectors including the HSE,
other statutory agencies and the community and voluntary sector. To
date, people have been trained to deliver a SAOR screening and brief
intervention in Universities, the Probation Service, the Garda
Síochána, public health services, acute care settings, sports clubs,
women’s services, homeless services, TUSLA and many other settings.
By following this model, many professionals and volunteers have been
given the confidence and competence to screen for problem alcohol and
drug use and either engage in a brief intervention or refer to
specialist services.
The HSE National Social Inclusion Office is now looking to support
existing SAOR trainers and train new SAOR Trainers.
