The AFINet Webinars, which have been monthly and on a Tuesday since October 2020, will now take place on alternate months: hence February, April, and then (because of the June AFINet Conference - http://www.afinetwork.info/afinet-conference/2023-conference) in July, September, November, January, March, etc, and will move between Tuesday/ Wednesday/ Thursday, so people with regular commitments on one of those days will still be able to attend on the others. The April Webinar is outlined below; Webinars for later in the year will be added at least two months in advance.

All Webinars are recorded and those recordings are made available a few days later on the AFINet website <https://www.afinetwork.info/webinar-series/recent-webinars> The list of past Webinars is below, beneath the programme for future ones.

Participation in each webinar is free, but to join, you MUST register beforehand. For each Webinar that you are interested in, please register in the few days before it starts, via webropol.com/s/afinetwebinar. Below the programme you can find a video recording of each Webinar that has been presented so far, along with the PowerPoint slides for that Webinar.

Title: : Promoting Alcohol REduction in Non-Treatment Seeking parents: the PAReNTs study
Presenter: Dr Ruth McGovern, University of Newcastle, England, UK
Description: There is a large amount of high-quality evidence which has accumulated in support of brief alcohol interventions delivered within a healthcare setting with alcohol misusing adult patients. However, there is a paucity of studies examining the effectiveness of alcohol screening and brief interventions within social care settings or specifically its use with parents referred to children’s social care to support and safeguard the child. This Webinar will report on Dr McGovern’s programme of work developing and evaluating brief alcohol interventions which aim to intervene early to prevent impact upon the child and family.
