Course Description:
Cannabis is legal for medical or recreational use in 36 states and the perception of risk is far decreased. However, for youth and young adults and well as individuals with co-occurring mental illness, cannabis use can have additional risks. Develop an understanding of the epidemiology and medical uses of cannabis and protective factors for individuals who use cannabis. Finally, practice intervention strategies for people who may have developed a Cannabis Use Disorder.
As a result of this workshop, participants will be prepared to:
1. Participants will screen for cannabis use disorders with clients with other behavioral health needs and how to offer protective strategies to reduce the risk of development of Cannabis Use Disorders
2. Participants will understand the changing policy landscape with legalization of cannabis for medical or recreational use in the US
3. Participants will be aware of the trends related to medical and recreational cannabis use within the context of other drugs.
