-The neurobiology of addiction (what addiction does to the brain);
-The negative effects of stigma on those that need help;
-How to use empowering language which encourages seeking help;
-Several resources which can be provided to those struggling with
SUD;

-How to advocate in their community for resources needed to
address the current SUD epidemic;
-How to recognize their own dependence on their phones and
computers;
-How to support the mental health of themselves and others; and
