色香视频's Christian Teter provides training at the 2017 Annual Maine Behavioral Healthcare Co-Occurring Disorders Forum
Christian Teter, Pharm.D., BCPP, associate professor of Psychopharmacology at 色香视频, has provided his expertise on cannabinoids at the Annual Maine Behavioral Healthcare and Co-Occurring Disorders Forum. This event is jointly sponsored by Maine Behavioral Healthcare (MBH) and CCSME (Co-Occurring Collaborative Serving Maine).
Teter discussed the impact of marijuana鈥檚 active ingredients, cannabinoids, on the developing brain; the harm and the benefits of recreational and medicinal uses; and what we currently do and do not understand about cannabinoids. He co-presented at the event with Debra Poulin, LCSW, CCS, director of Substance Use Treatment and Prevention Programming at MBH, who spoke about The Community Reinforcement and Family Training (CRAFT), a program developed to assist those affected by substance abuse. Poulin provided an overview of how substance use disrupts relationships, the evidence for CRAFT model, and highlighted some of the skills needed to navigate and maintain a positive trajectory for all family members and friends.
The event was a three-hour training program for MBH and partner providers, designed to further develop the co-occurring model of treatment with CCSME. It was open to clinicians, case managers, nursing staff, residential staff, medical staff and others throughout the MBH continuum of care.
This program was made possible by support from the Pond Foundation and was offered through Maine Behavioral Healthcare. Contact Hours were provided through the Co-Occurring Collaborative Serving Maine.
