Many people use mind altering substances for numerous reasons, such as an escape from their reality.  It is a problem that affects us all differently but may have the same consequences of harm, withdrawal from the community, and even death for all the lives it touches.  This course will look at how substance abuse affects us in the workplace and offers suggestions on how to help those who are trapped in the cycle of substance abuse.

This course is part of our series on Mental Health.  For additional information on an introduction to mental health, how mental health affects individuals in the workplace, and how to help someone with a mental health illness, please check out the Mental Health Series in the Health & Safety category of our webCampus catalogue.
