I found the Substance Misuse Prevention course at Stanmore School of Business to be really informative and helpful. As a social worker in Egypt, I deal with cases of substance misuse on a daily basis, and this course gave me a better understanding of the underlying issues and how to address them. The course covered a wide range of topics, from the biology of addiction to the role of family and community in prevention. I appreciated the emphasis on cultural sensitivity and the importance of tailoring interventions to specific contexts. The course materials were good, although I would have liked more examples from the Middle East region. Overall, I'm glad I took the course and would recommend it to others working in social services or healthcare in the region.
