A fictional risk-decision card separating marketing claims, impairment, dependence, peer pressure and trusted support with a rehearsed safe exit.

Keep your working files in your own notebook or software. Save a private description, checklist, and work link in My Proof.

What to include

  • Marketing claim/evidence screen.
  • Immediate impairment and support distinction.
  • Relative-risk correction.
  • Refusal with confirmed safe transport.
  • Urgent-help card and nonjudgmental support routes.

Review and revise

Use these criteria to check your work and choose what to improve.

  • Claim screen distinguishes relative-risk claims from unsupported zero-risk advertising.
  • Case analysis separates impairment, dependence concerns and urgent warning signs.
  • Refusal/transport plan names a confirmed non-impaired option and safe waiting arrangement.
  • Support record distinguishes qualified routine help from emergency action without diagnosing or stigmatizing.

The idea in everyday life

Fictional learner card: Sam wants help with nicotine cravings; Jo asks about alcohol pressure; Lee is in an immediate substance emergency. Options: qualified healthcare professional, official support directory, public comment thread, emergency services.

The idea

Seeking help is an action, not a moral verdict.

Follow along

Locate support without judgment or self-treatment — supplied practice

Seeking help is an action, not a moral verdict.

Fictional learner card: Sam wants help with nicotine cravings; Jo asks about alcohol pressure; Lee is in an immediate substance emergency. Options: qualified healthcare professional, official support directory, public comment thread, emergency services.

  1. 1. Step 1

    Route Sam to a qualified professional and official support information.

    You should see: A professional can discuss suitable cessation support; no medication is selected here.

  2. 2. Step 2

    Route Jo to trusted support and a rehearsed exit plan.

    You should see: A nonjudgmental conversation can support refusing pressure.

  3. 3. Step 3

    Route Lee to emergency services rather than a routine directory search.

    You should see: An urgent emergency is handled immediately.

  4. 4. Step 4

    Keep personal details out of the public thread and label the final practice card fictional.

    You should see: Use appropriate private routes and verify actual service availability.

Now change one thing

A directory does not show whether a provider accepts minors. Enter verified or ask.

Your work

What to finish

A final claim/risk/refusal/support card with separate urgent and routine routes.

Common mistake

Watch for this

Educational fictional choices only; no use, diagnosis or self-managed detoxification is required. Treatment, cessation and withdrawal questions need qualified care; actual emergencies need immediate emergency help.

How can I tell I understand it?

Support each lesson-specific criterion with your supplied-case artifact: I separated routine support from emergency response.; I avoided diagnosis and treatment selection.; I kept service availability and privacy subject to verification.
