Every Brain Matters Monthly Speakers Meeting – Dr. Rex Marco

Join us on the first Friday of every month for messages of hope and healing from the impacts of marijuana. We welcome a different speaker every month who will share their experience and provide pathways to find serenity as we navigate through today’s pro-marijuana/drug culture. Whether you’re grieving the loss of a loved one or trying to recover yourself, this meeting is for you. There will be a Q & A at the end of each meeting. This meeting is appropriate for all family members ages 13 and up.

We are honored to welcome Dr. Rex Marco for the month of February 2022.    Link To Meeting      Meeting ID: 872 9417 0134     Passcode: ebmsupport

Dr. Rex Marco obtained his degree in biological sciences at UC Irvine and then graduated medical school at UCLA.  He then completed an orthopedic surgery residency at UC Davis and fellowship training in Musculoskeletal Oncology at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center and in Reconstructive Spine Surgery at Rush-Presbyterian-St. Luke’s Medical Center in Chicago.  He began his academic career at MD Anderson Cancer Center followed by a few years in private practice and nearly a decade at the University of Texas Medical School in Houston.  He then became the Vice Chairman of orthopedic surgery at Houston Methodist Hospital where his surgical career was tragically shortened when he broke his neck in a mountain bicycle accident and was paralyzed from the neck down. He is currently the Chief Medical Ambassador for the Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation where he also serves on the quality-of-life grants committee and advocacy committee. Dr. Marco has always sought to be the best father, physician, surgeon,DDD and teacher that he could be. He is known to be creative and transformative in his practice and teachings but says that his real transformation came when he was forced into recovery when he experienced difficulties related to his severe codependency and his mar-anon qualifiers.  He will be sharing his story of recovery with us.

Event Series Wednesday Mar-Anon meeting with focus on adult qualifiers (independent of EBM)

Wednesday Mar-Anon meeting with focus on adult qualifiers (independent of EBM)

Mar-anon

This meeting every Wednesday will focus on adult qualifiers (spouses, boyfriends, girlfriends, significant others, brothers/sisters, parents etc.) although all are welcome.

Mar-Anon is a fellowship of those affected by another person’s marijuana use.  Its foundation is the Twelve Steps, adapted from Marijuana Anonymous, which can be a powerful, life-changing tool.  We come together to work the steps and offer hope, comfort, and support for other members.  We are not a religious group, instead, we use the steps as a path of self-discovery and personal change. The only requirement for membership is that a person be affected by another’s marijuana addiction.

Mar-Anon is independent of the Every Brain Matters Organization. EBM encourages Mar-Anon meetings to promote healing.

This is an online zoom meeting.

Helping a Loved One with Cannabis-Induced Psychosis (CIP)

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.

REGISTER HERE

Objectives: Participants will learn:

The signs and symptoms of cannabis-induced psychosis

How to provide a healthy environment.

Resources to take appropriate steps for support and recovery pathways.

Parenting tools to clearly and kindly respond to any negative or destructive behaviors.

 

Aubree 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.

Amber 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.
Amber’s mission is to spread both education and hope to individuals and families affected by marijuana.
