Course Overview

Welcome to this comprehensive course on addiction awareness. Throughout the modules, you will explore the complexities of addiction, its various forms, and the journey towards recovery.

The course begins with an overview of addiction in the UK, examining its prevalence and impact, and helping you develop a deeper understanding to better challenge stigma.

You will then learn about the many forms addiction can take, recognising that it is not limited to substances but can also include behaviours, and that it requires a multifaceted approach to address effectively.

Finally, you will explore the road to recovery by identifying signs of addiction, understanding the support and treatment options available, and learning strategies for maintaining wellness throughout the recovery process.
