Thanks a lot to Nimhans, other people of Nimhans for preparing such a good training course which is also easily accessible via technology. You all have made it very systematic as well as flexible. I am really thankful for providing me this opportunity to do the course. Although I have learnt many things but I will mention few very significant.
1. I have become aware of what is  Addiction. It's a mental disease and not the fault of the person. This learning has empowered me with a feeling that I may help people who are addicted to some or the other substances.
2. Now I know about different substances and how they affect the brain making a person dependent on alcohol or drugs. This will help me a lot when I will counsel any such person.
3. I have learnt about the neurobiology involved in addiction.
4. I have learnt how to  do Counselling of people with addiction.
5. I have learnt about the different effects of different substances on people.
6. I have learnt about the pharmacological as well as psychosocial management of people with addiction.
Apart from this I am still learning from this course and hope to learn lots more things from this course. Once again I am really thankful for providing such a platform for learning as well as for this padlet where we all can express our feelings.

Best regards
Swati

The three things that  I'm quite convinced now,..that are going to keep coming in circles, provided one doesn't lose heart somewhere in between the cycle.....are ,learning, unlearning and relearning ...continuous process.. pretty much like addiction..😅. Though I may not be able to complete this course with the way I'm scoring on the assignment  front🙈🤦, the journey feels great when we see people benefitting from intervention  guided by team NIMHANS. Thank you everyone...

5. Importance of Motivational Interviewing
6. Saying a big No to Confrontation
7. Use of REPTEAR, OARS
8. Use of Assessment Scales
9. Use of making online learning fun and interactive by the use of different online tools introduced by VKN NIMHANS team

2. It's important to know the street knowledge of drugs
3. Holistic approach to deaddiction must be the right approach rather than a plain drug prescription

The past 2 months have been such great learning for me. team's energy is radiating, the case discussions with each facilitator is irreplaceable with the amount of insight and knowledge they've given us. You have enriched even our technical skills with moodle, padlet, slides, quizziz which were all 1st time use for me. The assignments challenge us and push us to think and self learning material are much needed additions.
I cannot wait to learn more and enrich my knowledge and use it to help many more individuals that need help.
Thank you so much!

Good Afternoon to SUD team  of NIMHANS..for me it is a great opportunity to be a part of this programme..Before joining this course I was aware of sud now you all showed me the way how to empathize the problem..the way you all are guiding us I hope I can contribute my learning skills and the effects towards the society...lots of thanks and good wishes to all of you

# data[].attributes.body
Thanks a lot to the wonderful team.
I learnt-
1.There is a need for evaluating the possibility of other psy illness, personality types, temperament and environment in the initiation and continued use of substance use.

2. It's not very easy to be non judgemental and accepting the patient as he/ she is, but its important to keep your peace, establish a good therapeutic relationship and go slow. ( GGT, MCV high , breath analyser high and patient says I drink just 1-2 peg 1-2times/ week)

3.Lapse and relapse is a part of the disorder and should be expected and  accepted as a part of the treatment, and neither the treating team, nor the patient should be made to feel excessively guilty about it.

# data[].attributes.body
1.Up-to date information

The approach to learning and teaching have reached a new era now. NIMHANS team quickly embraced it. Online platform have made knowledge accessible and easy to impart. I could learn and become part of a new team from across the globe in sharing and discovering the knowledge that could enable me to help my clients. It was also a personal journey also to research on the addiction part of Counseling Psychology. (1) I learned to recognize both substance addiction and behavioral addiction. (2) It is important to avail treatment options and counseling for all the people so that they know they can be healed, instilling in them hope is very important. (3) l learned about different substances that can both heal and lead to addiction, mainly on inhalants. I didn't  know tha  a polish painting thinner could be used to get high.
let wisdom and knowledge flow aboundedly throug  the NIMHANS team.
God bless them in every way.

As a medical student I was always fascinated to teach something what I learned so that I will remember for long ever since my graduation (being selfish thou 🤐). I am really thankful to Dr Prabat sir and my other teammates for enabling bigger platform to enrich my knowledge.
Things I noticed from this batch especially
1. Everyone is very competitive and extremely quick in learning (because same history taking I learned for 4 months, yet I commit mistakes) which makes me even more cautious while teaching and clearing my own concepts.

2. Many of the participants I see here are almost engaged in professional and personal life still so much commitment for learning and upgrading themselves (So definitely my team takes at most care to justify for your valuable time 👍).Hopefully you are all going to touch many lives in long term.

Keep learning and make us to learn along with you

All the best 🤞

When we demand people around us to be non judgemental we are judging them, so it's a paradox, Now I am trying to non judgmental by accepting people as they are and trying to mind my own business.

# data[].attributes.body
In last three months First thing i learnt  how to run moodle. Secondly learnt about difference type of substance and learnt lot of new things because in addiction for me every single word is new for me.Thank you all

# data[].attributes.body
Being from a different field,
the 1st important thing has happened to me is my perception towards people has changed who are having any problem related to mental health and substance use.
2nd: Stop being judgmental and and try to understand their situation and circumstances.
3rd: Very important to increase awareness regarding overall mental health among our society so that stigma around the same can be reduced.

Thanks to NIMHANS team and all the participants who are part of this program.

Learning should never stop!
