SOBER INTERVENTION TRAINING
Certified Sober Intervention Training
Learn to plan, prepare and deliver structured, compassionate interventions using the Seven Stages of The Sober Intervention framework — the qualification that started a UK sector first.

Supervised live practice
Case discussion and rehearsal throughout — this is a working training, not a lecture series.
A recognised qualification
Previously externally accredited at Level 4 by OCNCredit4Learning; re-accreditation of the current curriculum is in progress.
CURRICULUM
The Seven Stages of The Sober Intervention
The course works through the complete Seven Stages framework across two intensive days — the same structured process Ian Young has taught in the UK, Sweden, Holland, Russia, Italy and beyond since 2015.
First contact
How families reach out, and how to respond in the first conversation.
Assessment
Understanding the situation, the substance use, and the family system around it.
Planning
Building the intervention plan: who, where, when, and what happens after yes.
Preparation
Rehearsing the family, handling objections, preparing for every outcome.
The intervention
Delivering the intervention itself — structured, calm, compassionate.
Handover to treatment
Transport, admission and the critical first days in care.
Aftercare & family support
What happens next — supporting the family through early recovery.
