Description Substance Misuse Awareness Diploma Drug use is ingesting any chemical substance into the body, especially the ones that have physiological effects when introduced into the body. When drug use poses a problem it becomes drug abuse. Drug abuse is also defined as excessive consumption of drugs especially the ones which are illegal. There are a variety of drugs both legal and forbidden and the effects of different drugs on the human body are different. The physiological effects of the drug do not only depend on the drug as previously thought but also on the person who consumes it as well as the setting where the drug is taken. Drug addiction is a major problem faced by almost every culture in every country. But every society does not condemn the self-same drugs. Some drugs may be condoned in one society but condemned in another. Therefore, drug use and abuse depend greatly on the sociocultural beliefs and assumptions of a particular society. The history of drugs is not always invaded by a negative attitude. Drugs have been known to have had medicinal uses and cultural and religious value since time immemorial. Only when drug use becomes habitual and addictive will it become drug abuse and that is when it needs to be addressed with great seriousness. Substance Misuse Awareness Diploma is an introductory course that traces the history of drugs and discusses the basics of drug use and abuse including the needed terminology. It also touches upon the field of pharmacology and psychopharmacology which is concerned with drug use. Popular drugs like cocaine, nicotine and alcohol are discussed in separate units. Substance Misuse Awareness Diploma ends with treatment and prevention of substance use disorders. What you will learn 1: Drug Use and Abuse 2: The History of Drug Use 3: Drugs and the Nervous System 4: Pharmacology 5: Psychopharmacology 6: Cocaine 7: Nicotine 8: Alcohol 9: Treatment of Substance Use Disorders 10: Prevention of Substance Abuse Course Outcomes After completing the course, you will receive a diploma certificate and an academic transcript from Elearn college.

First Aid for Life and Maudsley Learning are delighted to have worked in collaboration to bring this enhanced Mental Health First Aid course to you. The Maudsley is the largest mental health training institution in the UK and their expertise in this area is second to none. This course is continually updated by experts in Mental Health and offers clear, practical advice to help you gain a better understanding of how to help yourself, or others to achieve optimum mental health. This mental health first aid training course will teach you how to recognise warning signs of mental ill health and help you develop the skills and confidence to approach and support someone, whilst keeping yourself safe. We help you develop resilience, learn new ways to cope with stress, advise on sleeping better and equip you with a wealth of resources to be able to confidently help someone struggling with their mental health. This online course will provide you with the knowledge to spot specific warning signs that an adult or child could be struggling with a mental health condition, it explains how to initiate a supportive conversation, explore healthier lifestyle choices and links to the wealth of additional support available if someone needs further help. Ideal for individuals needing additional help and guidance to support their mental well-being, for those looking to introduce positive mental health practices to their workplaces, for teachers and support staff and friends, family and colleagues wanting more information on this vital topic It is estimated that around 1 in 4 people in the UK will experience a mental health condition at some point in their lives. For many, work is a major source of stress. 1 in 6 employees experience common mental health problems in the workplace. Businesses can support people with their mental health and create more positive and productive working environments as a result. Unfortunately, despite recent campaigns and advances, there still remains a level of stigma and fear of discrimination around mental health conditions. Employees and school children may feel that mental health conditions will not be greeted with the same compassionate approach as physical illness. This should not be the case and the purpose of this course is to demystify mental health conditions and empower workplaces, friends and family members to provide the support and signposting desperately needed by those struggling with their mental well-being. The HSE have embraced the idea of mental health in the workplace and issued the following guidance ‘First aid needs assessment’ for businesses. They suggest that your first aid needs assessment should also consider whether it is beneficial to have personnel trained to identify and understand symptoms and able to support someone who might be experiencing a mental health issue. The scope of this mental health first aid course is not to learn to diagnose or treat mental health conditions as this should only be done by appropriately trained healthcare professionals. However, you will be guided in identifying signs someone might be struggling and we will equip you with a methodology to appropriately support them and a directory of people where you can signpost them for help. It is impossible to cover all eventualities within this course, or to equip you with the knowledge and skills to appropriately diagnose and treat in unpredictable real life situations. If you suspect serious illness or injury, you should always seek immediate professional medical advice. The Author has made every effort to ensure the accuracy of the information contained within the course, however this course is merely a guide and the Author does not accept any liability or responsibility for any inaccuracies or for any mistreatment or misdiagnosis of any person, however caused.
