Active living 12

I learned an immense amount about substance abuse and the benefits of naloxone. we were taught that there is a lot of stigma about substance usage which makes it an uncomfortable topic to talk about, however when it is talked about it makes people more familiar with ways to prevent abuse and misusage of drugs or substances. I learned a lot of skills in order to help people with an overdose or abuse so although I hopefully never need to use them, in the worst situation I should be able to recall my knowledge and possibly save a life. Aswell as a refresher in CPR helped boost my confidence in it so again if I ever need to use it, it should come more naturally.

Core Competencies

Critical and reflective thinking

I can now more easily analyze situations and make my own judgements. Using the information we have learned I can now make judgement calls on deciding not to try to experiment with drugs as well as knowing when to help others in cases of need such as needing cpr or possibly naloxone due to an overdose. These lessons have helped me be more confident and educated in my judgements and responses to medical situations from drugs or accidents.
