Webinar Description:

In her work, Lindsey has noticed that the majority of her clients are using marijuana as a method of positive and negative coping. Lindsey has found this trend to be the same among colleagues, and that not all colleagues feel comfortable addressing the topic with clients.

As a result of the needs of her work, Lindsey has crafted a presentation to educate counsellors on the recent legislative changes regarding the legalization of Marijuana, and to assist counsellors in working with clients that use cannabis. This presentation aims to assist counsellors in increasing their knowledge and understanding of marijuana and its uses for medical and recreational purposes. This presentation will also examine the following: the prevalence in Canadian society and associated stigma, the strains of marijuana and associated physiological effects, how marijuana can be used for positive and negative coping, and how to address the topic comfortably with clients.

Presenter: Lindsey Thomson
