I took the Certificate in Prevention and Intervention of Substance Abuse (Advanced) course at Stanmore School of Business to enhance my understanding of substance abuse issues in my community. The course was really helpful in providing me with a deeper understanding of the complexities of substance abuse and the various approaches to prevention and intervention. I appreciated the diversity of perspectives and experiences shared by the instructors and my fellow students. The course materials were generally good, although I felt that some of the resources could be more tailored to non-Western contexts. Nevertheless, I gained some valuable insights and practical skills that I can apply in my work as a community health worker. Overall, I'm pleased with the course and would recommend it to others, although I think some improvements could be made to make it more inclusive and relevant to diverse cultural contexts.

I completed the Certificate in Prevention and Intervention of Substance Abuse (Advanced) course at Stanmore School of Business as part of my ongoing professional development as a social worker. The course was well-structured and easy to follow, with clear learning objectives and outcomes. I appreciated the focus on practical skills and the use of real-world examples and case studies to illustrate key concepts. The course materials were generally good, although I felt that some of the readings could be more concise and focused. I gained some useful insights and skills from the course, particularly in terms of assessing and treating individuals with substance use disorders. One area for improvement could be the inclusion of more Latin American perspectives and examples, as the course materials were somewhat biased towards North American and European contexts. Nevertheless, I'm generally satisfied with the course and would recommend it to others in the field.
