Book overview
Alcohol-related work can involve several connected questions: how someone drinks, what happens around their drinking and how they understand the consequences. Alcohol Awareness Workbook is presented as a practical resource for practitioners exploring problematic alcohol use and its relationship with health, behaviour and offending.
Jonathan Hussey and Jo Richardson’s exercises are intended for individual sessions with adults and young people aged 15 and over. The publisher describes activities that can be adapted to different learning styles, giving the practitioner room to shape the work around the person’s understanding.
The book’s appeal is its focused format. It provides a starting point for planning purposeful conversations about alcohol within probation and related work, with the subject given its own space rather than treated as a passing topic.
For readers building a collection of practice resources, this is the alcohol-focused title in the series. The published description supports its role as a workbook for guided discussion; it does not provide evidence of treatment outcomes or make it a substitute for individual assessment.
