Enjoyed the UTC 1 Course! Good reminder of some of the fundamental aspects of the work.

Happy to join this team. Looking forward to engaging with those still here

thank you for providing opportunity to join this community, striving for increasing knowledge and skills related to prevention, treatment and recovery of people with Substance Use Disorders. 

As a recovered alcoholic and drug addict, I am grateful to have found this online training. I will do my best to learn, apply and help others recover from this terrible illness. Thank you for letting me join this network.

I believe we have a responsibility to rescue and reach out to the next generation and help them out of abuse.Am.doing this in Kenya especially in high schools. I have seen it work

A great initiative to prepare the FORCE to fight the continuously growing ratio of every age individual into SUDs especially among youngsters which has developed serious concerns in Academia, Clinicians, Parents, Organisations and community as it has a huge cost.

It feels good to help those into substance use recover every day. I work as Case Worker with Catholic Charities 

For treatment to be effective, family and environmental forces have great impact to the wellbeing of the patient. SUD Professionals must take into consideration that the contributions of the family and care givers are very paramount to the recovery of the patient.   

Treatment  needs to be rendered first to parents, we can not expect  children to be sober minded  whilst the parents are under influence of substances. The emotional state or well- being of children is broken, they have used substances as a coping mechanism due of family circumstances or dysfunctional  families.

Substance use disorder 

Hi. Happy to be here and looking forward to acquire knowledge.

Greetings colleagues, I am about to embark on self study on the UTC curriculum. I am in Botswana, the drug use and abuse here is out of hand. I need to work with others form different regions of the world to learn from them and share insights about the situation in Botswana and possible strategies to curb the drug problem.

It would also be nice to have buddies that we converge and discuss the course together. I am looking forward to hearing from you and working together on this course and beyond. Stay well and keep smiling.
