Lunch & Learn: Introduction to Addiction & Substance Abuse

Course Type: Faith Based
Course Access: Lifetime
Course Format: Online

Introduction

One in five adults experience mental illness every year, yet fewer than half of those receive treatment. These issues affect people from all walks of life – no one is immune to psychological distress. Although mental illness is fairly common, sufferers often feel too embarrassed to seek help. This can ultimately have devastating consequences – mental illness lessens an individual’s quality of life and can even result in suicide.

GTH offered a specialized 4 R’s Lunch & Learn webinar where participants learned about addiction & substance abuse. In this training, you will specifically learn how to recognize the signs of addiction & substance abuse, relate to the concept, and reveal a starting point for care.
