1-2 hours, depending on your requirements

This workshop is suitable for workers from the AOD, Youth, Mental Health, Corrections Health, Allied Health Services, school counsellors, GPs and those who work within the Criminal Justice Sector. This workshop is suited for 15 – 20 participants.

The workshop will introduce participants to the recently developed guidelines for the management of cannabis-related problems (Copeland, Frewen & Elkins).

These aim to provide clinicians with a reference point for skills required to intervene with cannabis-related problems. This workshop is suitable for practitioners who work in a variety of settings where clients present with cannabis use disorders. Such practitioners may be confronted with a range of presentations of cannabis use disorder including some complex clinical profiles such as mental health symptoms and acute behavioural disturbances which may include psychosis and aggression. Participants will be made familiar with the various aspects of the guidelines including screening, assessment, brief psycho-education and interventions, and will receive a free copy of the guidelines.
