From 23-31 July 2019, a team of master trainers from Central Asia attended the Regional Training of Trainers for Central Asia held in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

The training was organized by Colombo Plan Drug Advisory Programme (DAP) within the framework of UNODC joint capacity building activity with Colombo Plan.

There were 14 regional master trainers from five Central Asia countries trained on the two following Advanced UTC courses:

  • Course 14: Working with Families with Substance Use Disorders (SUD)
  • Course 17: Case Management Skills and Practices

Course 14 presented an overview of issues related to substance use in the context of the family and provided participants with an understanding of the interventions that can be carried out with families affected by SUD.
