Substance Abuse
Student And Family

Substance abuse can affect student behavior, safety, and academic performance, and it may also create challenges within family dynamics that show up on campus. Security personnel must be able to recognize warning signs, respond professionally, and follow legal and institutional procedures when substance-related concerns arise in school settings. 

 This module provides a practical overview of substance abuse in educational environments, including how it presents through behavioral changes, how to intervene appropriately, and how prevention efforts can support a safer campus culture.

 This module covers the following topics: 

• Understanding Substance Abuse 
• Behavioral Impact of Substance Abuse 
• Intervention Protocols and Legal Considerations 
• Support and Prevention Strategies 
  
   Designed to support consistent and compliant response, this module reinforces awareness, documentation practices, and coordination with school staff and support resources when addressing substance-related concerns involving students and families.
