Virtual Co-Occurring Disorder (COD) Series: Cannabis and COD

Join us for a new workshop learning series on the challenges facing individuals struggling with COD. This series will explore how substances of abuse and mental health concerns impact each other. Each session will offer community providers a deeper understanding of providing integrated care to support and foster overall all health and well-being.

Explore the complex relationship between cannabis/THC and adult mental health conditions in this two-hour workshop. The presenter will cover the acute and long-term effects of cannabis use, discuss recent scientific findings on its impact on anxiety, depression, and psychosis, and examine the risks associated with high-potency THC products. This session will provide attendees with a factual, science-based understanding of the risks to help people served make informed decisions about their health.
