The Institute provides top quality seminars and training throughout Ireland from its base in Waterford. Training assignments have been provided in Scotland, England, Switzerland, Italy and Greece. The Institute also acted as consultants to the International Labour Organisation (ILO) in Turin Italy, on the prevention and assistance training on alcohol and drug problems for the countries of India, Sri Lanka, Thailand and the Philippines.


The Institute was founded by Maurice Quinlan, the current Director, who developed an interest in workplace alcoholism in 1973 and later and introduced the concept of Occupational Alcohol Programmes (OAPs) to the European Union and hosted the first seminar on this topic in the Clarence Hotel, Dublin in September 1980. In 1985 he established one of the first external EAP’s in Kilkenny, Ireland.
