Dr. Maritsa Yzaguirre-Kelley, LMHC, MCAP provided powerful information during her “Opioid Intervention On and Off The Court: Recognizing Opioid Misuse and Abuse in Students” virtual presentation. Recognizing the signs and symptoms of drug related harm in students, made this information extremely valuable to educators. Simply understanding what opioids are and the different brands make it easier to recognize them.
I was intrigued with the information given to help identify the signs and symptoms of opioid misuse and abuse in students. It was interesting to know the plethora of ways they may be presented through changes in physical appearance, behavioral actions or both.
