TRIADD is a European training project for staffs who work directly with people who have an intellectual disability and mental health problems – also known as Dual Diagnosis.

Objectives

To bring together existing knowledge and training practices for professionals concerning dual diagnosis

To perform a needs analysis survey amongst care professionals on key elements to be included in future training

To develop new training packages for professionals supporting this target group

To advance the availability of continuing training in Luxembourg (promoter’s country), where little training exists on this issue

To offer this new training product to a broad European target group of care workers, other social sector professionals and training institutions

To offer tele-training (e-learning) to front-line staff on the issues involved in supporting people with dual diagnosis.

Delivered these training courses with verbal and written evaluation

Circulated a follow-up questionnaire to trainees and organised a transnational meeting of front-line staff

Transposed key elements of a basic training course into an e-learning format

Set up a web site in English and French offering resources to staff and service providers, such as an interactive case-study message board and resources in other languages
