Training course for mental health rehabilitation teams working with people dealing with dual morbidity - mental illness and addictions

About the course 

The term "dual morbidity" refers to a person coping with a mental disorder alongside an addiction to psychoactive substances and/or behavioral addiction. The two disorders may appear simultaneously, or one after the other, and there is an interrelationship between them. In addition, each of the coping mechanisms has its own unique characteristics and challenges, and together they have a decisive impact on the person and their environment (Rabinovich Shenkar, 2020).

Teams and organizations that provide a response to those eligible for the rehabilitation basket are increasingly meeting in various services with those dealing with dual morbidity, and the need for specialization and receiving tools to provide a professional, integrative, and holistic rehabilitation-therapeutic response to all complexities is increasing.

The Dual Morbidity Course is designed for rehabilitation workers who are interested in expanding their understanding of working with people dealing with dual morbidities. The course is a basic course that allows learners to evaluate and reshape their beliefs and perceptions of their work, expand their worlds of knowledge, and experiment with various and diverse tools in the field of dual morbidities - mental coping and addictions.

During the course, we will learn the basic concepts in the field of addiction, understand this phenomenon in depth, and examine the complexity of addiction in combination with mental coping and vice versa. We will become familiar with and delve deeper into the rationale, perception, and "spirit" of working with people dealing with dual morbidity. We will also engage with and be exposed to various models, approaches, and tools that will assist us in our work in providing professional support to this unique population.

The course will be accompanied by a training group that will support deepening understanding and connecting theory, experience, and practice in the field.

The authorities of the judiciary in Israel are divided between the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court serves as an appellate instance for judgments of the District Courts in Israel, and as a High Court of Justice. When sitting as a High Court of Justice, it hears appeals against the decisions of the District Courts, the Magistrates Courts and the Religious Courts. There are three types of appeals: the High Court of Justice, District Courts and Magistrate Courts.

The powers of the judiciary are influenced by the changes in the powers of the investigative authorities and the prosecuting authorities, in order to allow scrutiny and expansion on the history of the judiciary and its influence in the State of Israel.
