This module focuses on Substance Use Disorders (SUD). Our goals are to increase awareness, knowledge, and response for dealing with people with substance use and mental health issues, as well as to familiarize the learners with variant classes of drug someone with a substance use disorder may use. We will explore the brain and learn about its reward system, and how it interacts with drug use. Finally, learners will be given de-escalation strategies.
