People of all ages use substances for various reasons, many of which can be accessed legally as well as illegally. Both types of substances may alter a person’s mood and/or behavior, but not everyone will have the same signs and symptoms.
Join Dana for a one hour presentation and discussion that will explore the following:
- What is substance misuse/addiction
- Brief overview around the different types of substances people use
- Common side effects (behavioural and physical) of the substances most commonly used by University students
- How and when should I respond if I suspect one of my students is misusing substances
- Resources
