LifeSkills: Substance Misuse

Everyone’s relationship with substances is different. Some people might use them to relax, to fit in, or to cope when things feel difficult. It’s a part of life for many — but sometimes, substance use can start to affect your wellbeing, your choices, or your relationships.

In LifeSkills: Substance Misuse, you’ll explore what substance misuse means, why it can happen, and how to recognise when things might be getting too much. You’ll also learn practical ways to make changes, seek support, and build healthier habits.

The module is made up of steps with things to read, watch, and do — helping you reflect and learn at your own pace.

You need to complete all the steps to finish the topic, but you can pause and come back whenever you like (it’s best to use the same computer and browser so you can pick up where you left off).
