Hello everyone,

 

I just wanted to introduce myself as I am a new member of the EFTC discussion list.

 

My name is Laura Aslan, I am the lead Researcher for Phoenix Futures; the fourth largest drug and alcohol treatment provider in the UK. I have a forensic psychology background and have particular  interest and experience in prison-based therapeutic communities. I have worked for Phoenix Futures for nearly 2 years. My role at Phoenix is to ensure that our services are evidence-based and outcome focused. We want to ensure there is a link between the interventions we deliver and the outcomes we achieve with our clients. The projects I design are used to evaluate the effectiveness of our services and develop ways to increase effectiveness and efficiency either through the modification of current design or by developing alternative, novel techniques. 

 

Some of my current projects involve researching our alcohol-specific clients and their experience of residential, therapeutic community treatment. In addition to this we are looking into any experienced, perceived or observed differences between alcohol-specific clients and opiate-specific clients. I am in the first stages of designing an evaluation of our ‘Recovery through Nature’ programme looking into the processes at play and how this programme helps to enhance someone’s recovery journey. Other projects surround mothers in treatment, BCHILLED- our night-time economy project in Birmingham and various large-scale effectiveness evaluations conducted through outside organisations such as Public Health England and the Ministry of Justice; to name but a few!

 

Im looking forward to being part of this forum and utilising and hopefully contributing to it as well.

 

Thanks,

Laura.
