When we are talking about drugs, we are talking about “external psychoactive chemicals”, i.e., substances (legal/illegal) we take into our bodies to change/alter our perceptions, moods, consciousness, cognition, and/or our behavior. We usually take external chemicals because we are seeking is relief from physical or psychological discomfort/distress/pain. Participants will be able to: 1. Define “external psychoactive chemical” and “internal psychoactive bio-chemistry”; 2. Match at least one naturally occurring “internal psychoactive bio-chemical” to its “external psychoactive substance”; 3. Name at least one action each of us can take that is proven to increase our calming/healing “internal psychoactive bio-chemicals” Visit https://www.thrivingfamiliesalliance.org/trainings to register today!
