SUMMARY:Climbers Family Support Group
DESCRIPTION: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. \nIn the world of recovery\, families learn the 3 C’s about the disease of addiction. \nWe didn’t cause it. \nWe can’t control it. \nAnd we can’t cure it. \nIn 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. \nWe 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. \nWe 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. \n  \nLINK TO REGISTER \nMeeting ID: 827 4437 2483\nPasscode: Climbers

SUMMARY:Helping a Loved One with Cannabis-Induced Psychosis (CIP)
DESCRIPTION:In this presentation\, Aubree Adams and Amber Moore will educate about cannabis-induced psychosis and provide personal stories\, family resources\, and practical tools to respond to a teen or loved one with CIP and pathways to recovery. \nREGISTER HERE \nObjectives: Participants will learn: \nThe signs and symptoms of cannabis-induced psychosis \nHow to provide a healthy environment. \nResources to take appropriate steps for support and recovery pathways. \nParenting tools to clearly and kindly respond to any negative or destructive behaviors. \n  \nAubree Adams is the director of Every Brain Matters. She lived at ground zero of the marijuana expansion movement. Still\, she found refuge in Houston\, Texas\, where she and her two sons joined a dynamic\, enthusiastic recovery community where she became a host parent for youth in recovery. Aubree states that families and communities are unprepared for this era of industrialized marijuana that targets youth with flavored candies and vapes that provide a rapid and potent chemical assault to the brain. She is passionate about providing families with resources to prevent\, manage\, or recover from a child or young adult addicted or psychotic from cannabis. \nAmber Moore is a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and assistant director of Every Brain Matters. After experiencing first-hand the harmful mental and physical effects of cannabis\, Amber became passionate about sharing scientific-based education with teens and families. She believes everyone has the right to be informed and know the truth about the harmful side effects of marijuana and industrialized THC products.\nAmber’s mission is to spread both education and hope to individuals and families affected by marijuana. \n  \nREGISTER HERE \n
