Every Brain Matters Monthly Speakers Meeting

Online Zoom Meeting

In this new era of industrialized THC, families need support and hope. Please join us on the 2nd Wednesday of every month for messages of healing from the impacts of marijuana and the expanding drug crisis.  There will be a Q&A at the end of each meeting. This meeting may be recorded at the presenter’s discretion.

This month we learn from Dr. Josef.

Dr. Josef Witt-Doerring is a psychiatrist renowned for his expertise in the field of drug tapering and withdrawal management. He is concerned with the rise of cannabis use and its association with psychosis and schizophrenia. With years of experience in clinical psychiatry, he has developed a particular interest and specialization in assisting patients with the safe and effective tapering of psychiatric medications. His approach is patient-centered, focusing on individualized plans that prioritize the patient’s well-being and functioning.

Climbers with Joe Parker

Joe Parker leads this online family support group where participants learn family recovery tools that empower them to take the next step to help them navigate through a loved one’s marijuana addiction, psychosis, hyperemesis, and other destructive behaviors.

These are open cross-talking meetings where people can ask questions and share ideas. We will focus on a different recovery topic each week.

This is a free meeting for everyone. A donation is NOT required to attend, but if you can help us compensate Joe for his professional expertise and time, please consider a donation of $20.00 per person or $35.00 per family. Donations can be made on our website or at everybrainmatters.org/donate/.

Event Series Climbers Family Support Group

Climbers Family Support Group

A professional counselor leads this weekly online support group for families affected by a loved one’s marijuana use. Participants learn recovery tools that empower them to take the next step while navigating through marijuana addiction, psychosis, hyperemesis, self-harm, or other destructive behaviors. Whether families decide to take small steps or hike the mountain, each step counts and can positively impact their families’ relationships and health.

In the world of recovery, families learn the 3 C’s about the disease of addiction.

We didn’t cause it.

We can’t control it.

And we can’t cure it.

In the Every Brain Matters Climbers meeting, we talk about a 4th C. How do we contribute to it positively or negatively? It’s difficult for families to know what that means, so by discussing these situations, we gain clarity on the best response for our families.

We encourage each family member to work on their own recovery program. We allow cross-talking to share ideas, experiences, strength, and hope. Every family makes their own decisions and heals at their own pace. We respect the feelings and privacy of those attending our meetings.

We ask for a donation to compensate for the professional expertise and time we provide, but this is not a requirement to attend. The suggested donation is $20.00 per person or $35.00 per family. Join us every Wednesday at 7 pm central time zone.

Event Series Young Adults’ Cannabis Recovery Support Meeting

Young Adults’ Cannabis Recovery Support Meeting

This support meeting is for individuals, ages 18 – 35, who have struggled with a cannabis use disorder (CUD), cannabis-induced psychosis (CIP), or cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome (CHS). This is a closed meeting for people who have struggled with these conditions. Attendees must be sober. We welcome newly sober newcomers seeking practical steps to stay sober and pursue a healthier life. We will not glorify the past; we will only look to learn from it. Our primary goal is to maintain sobriety, heal from the negative, long-lasting effects of using cannabis products, and help others achieve sobriety. These meetings will focus on abstinence. We do not support and will not discuss any form of marijuana maintenance plan.

The primary formula that we follow in our discussions is P.S.A. = Problem. Solution. Action.

This meeting will be held online on the 2nd Wednesday of the month starting August 14, 2024, from 5:00 pm to 6:30 pm Central Time. For more information, contact Doug Dolan at dougdolan@recoveryinthepines.com

Doug Dolan will be the moderator for these sessions. He is in recovery, sobriety date is April 19, 1997. Doug works extensively in substance abuse, mental health, and personal life transformation. He sits on multiple committees focused on these issues, as well as those focused on reducing overdose fatalities, suicide prevention, helping families in crisis, and various aspects of brain health.
