Substance abuse research shows that education and early intervention can help save lives. Whether you are interested in volunteering in the filed of substance abuse or you are seeking interpersonal strategies you can use to respond to family and friends affected by substance abuse, this course will provide you with the educational foundation and resources you need. Different circumstances require different responses. How one responds to a teen differs from how one responds to an older person with substance abuse issues; how one responds as a loved one differs from how one responds as a volunteer in a treatment setting. Upon successful completion of this course, participants will be able to respond effectively to substance abuse problems whether they are found at home, in the community, or at the work setting.
