New Directions partners with Shatterproof to offer addiction learning modules
N
ew Directions Behavioral Health announced it now offers its clients Shatterproof's Just Five online learning modules on addiction and substance use.
The short, impactful and interactive lessons each take just five minutes to complete and focus on increasing awareness, reducing stigma and sharing information about addiction prevention and treatment. Those taking the modules will learn who is at risk, signs someone may have a substance use disorder and ways to support loved ones with the disease. The lessons include
- The Science of Addiction
- Are You at Risk?
- The Dangers of Opioids
- Signs, Symptoms and Treatment
- How You Can Help
- The Gift of Recovery
Through the company's partnership with Shatterproof, the modules will be available to anyone New Directions serves within its Employee Assistance Program (EAP), managed behavioral health services or WellConnect Student Assistance Program for college students. Available online, these modules can be accessed from virtually anywhere, anytime. No registration is required and accessing the learning modules is completely confidential.
Liz Woodford, MA, MS-HP, LPC, NCC, substance use disorder program director at New Directions, says education is the first step to treating addiction.
Most people don't realize that addiction is a chronic disease, and nobody is immune, said Woodford. Before you can effectively address the problem, you have to understand it. That's why we at New Directions are so passionate about working with Shatterproof to educate people about addiction and how to access the appropriate treatment.
