ABOUT THE TRAINER:

Dr. Lindy Howe is a postdoctoral research fellow at the Center for Alcohol and

Addiction Studies at Brown University. Lindy’s research interests center on

substance use, particularly examining the interplay between psychopathology,

decision-making, and situational factors of alcohol and cannabis use through

ecological momentary assessment. Her emerging research interests also explore

the interaction of substance use with perinatal mental health, specifically focusing

on the role providers play in shaping perceptions of cannabis use before, during,

and after pregnancy, the factors contributing to the return of substance use

postpartum, and the impact of cannabis and alcohol use on postpartum mental

health outcomes.

DESCRIPTION:

This training provides an evidence-based framework for addressing cannabis use in

perinatal populations, focusing on key clinical considerations and the management of co-

occurring mental health factors. Through the discussion of applied case examples,

participants will learn to navigate complications and implement practical interventions

within pregnancy and postpartum treatment settings.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

Describe evidence-based interventions for addressing cannabis use during pregnancy

and the postpartum period.

Identify key clinical considerations, complications, and co-occurring mental health

factors relevant to treating cannabis use in perinatal populations.

Apply a general framework for approaching cannabis use within perinatal treatment

settings (e.g., mental health and substance use care) through discussion of applied case

examples.
