    What qualifications do I need to be a drugs counsellor in ireland?
    Well I've been their and done most of them and learned a lot in my experience taking them,so why not use what I learned and become a drugs counsellor

    But what qualifications do I need in ireland to do this? I never finished school because of drugs and other things

    All help would be great thank you

    I did look on Google but only found site on life couch and it costs stupid amounts of money

    Don't forget people the money matters I'm single mum and can't afford to shell out thousands

    Thanks

    I tried a net search but couldn't find specific details.

    The following link helps a bit,but I didn't find any drug related volunteers.Hope it helps in some way,as there are some links for helping women in abuse etc.
