Claire Crowley
she/her
Registered Nurse, PG Cert Health Science (Dual Diagnosis) DAPAANZ
I began working in Mental health and addictions in 2004 as Nurse Manager in a residential home for male clients with schizophrenia. In 2010 I studied at Massey University, gaining a post-graduate certificate in Dual Diagnosis. In 2013 I began working at an outpatient centre helping clients with addiction and how it impacts all areas of their lives. Working as a detox nurse led me to do a paper on pharmacotherapy at the National addictions centre, as medication is a big part of my role.
I enjoy learning about the brain and helping clients understand how addiction is a brain disease and how we can change this.
