Interactive Substance Use Story Sessions (Formerly known as Substance Use Simulations)
Formerly titled Substance Use Simulations - no change to course content
Interactive Story Sessions are a set of videos designed for learners to walk through fictional healthcare encounters as a group. The videos are paused at strategic points and a discussion is facilitated by a Nurse Educator and Peer Educator with lived/living experience of substance use. Each video ends with an exclusive interview with the main actor, which delves deeper into the themes explored in the video.
The discussions throughout will explore relational practice skills and equity-oriented healthcare in order to enhance participants’ skills and comfortability giving empathetic and effective care to clients who use substances.
Throughout the year, we will rotate through the 5 sessions, which include:
- Walter's Day - Understanding Substance Use Stigma
- Together - Compassionate Opioid Use Disorder Care Planning
- No Wrong Turns - Youth Substance Use & Trauma-Informed Conversations
- Hidden Pain - Cultural Considerations and Intersections in Substance Use Care
- Tipping Point - Community Alcohol Use Support
Participants can register for a single or multiple sessions at different times. While you can participate in order, each session is unique, covering different topics and points in someone's substance use journey. Please navigate to each course to read more about the objectives of each session.
