Our risk-reduction course teaches you to make healthier choices, and helps you understand your substance use. You can examine, perhaps for the first time, your entire attitude, perception and motivation behind drinking and other drug use.
The course will give you greater awareness of the risks involved in your choices, and teach you new strategies to weigh and assess your choices around substance use, which may help you reduce any unwanted behaviors related to alcohol or other drugs, and identify any consequences long before they happen.
The self-led online course allows you to complete modules on your schedule. The program enables you to identify your core values and the potential consequences of substance use on those core values. Specifically, this course includes two units:
- Exploring Unit: Examines the perception of one's personal risk
- Reflecting Unit: Covers the progression toward addiction and allows participants to assess where they might be on that path
