Lunch & Learn: Substance-Related and Addictive Disorders
Introduction
One in five adults experience mental illness every year, yet fewer than half of those receive treatment. These issues affect people from all walks of life – no one is immune to psychological distress. Although mental illness is fairly common, sufferers often feel too embarrassed to seek help. This can ultimately have devastating consequences – mental illness lessens an individual’s quality of life and can even result in suicide.
On April 7th, GTH offered a specialized 4 R’s Lunch & Learn webinar where participants learned about Substance-Related and Addictive Disorders. During this training, you will specifically learn how to recognize the symptoms of substance-related and addictive disorders, relate and help those struggling with these disorders, and reveal a starting point for care.
