Resume

Medafhængighed blandt rådgivere på vietnamesiske centre, der vejleder stof- og alkoholmisbrugere er et stort og stigende problem, der medfører, at klienter får uhensigtsmæssig og i mange tilfælde direkte skadelig vejledning. Medafhængighed resulterer også i et dårligt arbejdsmiljø og udbrændthed blandt de personaler, der er ramt. Mange siger op og forlader deres stillinger. Udover de individuelle personlige omkostninger, så stiller det rådgivningsklinikkerne i en uhyre vanskelig situation, da det er både dyrt og svært at finde egnede kandidater til de ledige stillinger. Begrebet medafhængighed er fuldstændig ukendt i Vietnam. Projektet vil kapacitetsopbygge vor Partner til et ekspert niveau, der gør MSD i stand til at være et ressource center på området, uddanne og træne 10 medarbejdere i 10 førende vietnamesiske CSO/CBO’er til at blive ToTs og 120 sundhedspersoner, så de forstår de grundlæggende årsager til medafhængighed, samt give dem redskaber til at håndtere problemet. Endelig vil projektet udvikle forskellige informationsmaterialer.
