CiC Helpsheet
Facing up to addiction
CiC, the University’s Counselling and Employee Assistance provider, publishes regular topical helpsheets which are available to all staff via the online wellbeing resource, Well Online.
This month's helpsheet looks at addiction, a problem that is far more widespread than many of us would like to think. According to Action on Addiction, as many as one in three people in Britain suffer from an addiction of some kind.
The helpsheet covers:
- Definitions of addiction
- Identifying if you have a problem
- Types of addiction
- Practical steps towards
recovery
For details of how to access this and other helpsheets or to find out how to talk to someone in confidence about any of the issues raised in this helpsheet please see our employee assistance pages.
