Hey guys, I just finished the Substance Abuse and Addiction Support course at Stanmore School of Business, and I'm really glad I took it. I was a bit skeptical at first, but the course really delivered. I learned so much about the different types of addiction, and how to approach each one in a supportive and non-judgmental way. The instructors were super knowledgeable and provided lots of real-life examples to illustrate the concepts. The course materials were pretty good too, although I did find some of the videos a bit dry at times. Overall, I'd definitely recommend this course to anyone looking to learn more about addiction support - it's a great introduction to the topic, and it's given me a lot of confidence in my ability to help others.
