SUMMARY:A Practical Overview of Treating Cannabis Use in the Perinatal Period
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER NOW \nABOUT THE TRAINER: \nDr. Lindy Howe is a postdoctoral research fellow at the Center for Alcohol and \nAddiction Studies at Brown University. Lindy’s research interests center on \nsubstance use\, particularly examining the interplay between psychopathology\, \ndecision-making\, and situational factors of alcohol and cannabis use through \necological momentary assessment. Her emerging research interests also explore \nthe interaction of substance use with perinatal mental health\, specifically focusing \non the role providers play in shaping perceptions of cannabis use before\, during\, \nand after pregnancy\, the factors contributing to the return of substance use \npostpartum\, and the impact of cannabis and alcohol use on postpartum mental \nhealth outcomes. \n  \nDESCRIPTION: \nThis training provides an evidence-based framework for addressing cannabis use in \nperinatal populations\, focusing on key clinical considerations and the management of co- \noccurring mental health factors. Through the discussion of applied case examples\, \nparticipants will learn to navigate complications and implement practical interventions \nwithin pregnancy and postpartum treatment settings. \n  \nLEARNING OBJECTIVES: \nDescribe evidence-based interventions for addressing cannabis use during pregnancy \nand the postpartum period. \nIdentify key clinical considerations\, complications\, and co-occurring mental health \nfactors relevant to treating cannabis use in perinatal populations. \nApply a general framework for approaching cannabis use within perinatal treatment \nsettings (e.g.\, mental health and substance use care) through discussion of applied case \nexamples. \n  \nREGISTER NOW
