Every Brain Matters Monthly Speakers Meeting- Jordan Davidson

We warmly welcome Jordan Davidson to the EBM Speakers Meeting. Jordan’s willingness to share his experience is a great opportunity for all of us to learn.  Whether you have a loved one struggling with marijuana addiction or if you are the one struggling, please come and hear Jordan’s experience, strength and hope. You’ll also have the opportunity to ask Jordan questions at the end of the meeting. See you all there!

From Jordan:  My name is Jordan Davidson. I am 20-years-old and a sophomore at American University in Washington, DC. I study Political Science and Arabic and work as an intern with Smart Approaches to Marijuana. I first smoked marijuana the summer before my sophomore year of high school. Over the course of two years, I began to smoke more frequently. My addiction began in June 2018, right after I had finished my junior year of high school. I was smoking marijuana, mostly by using a dab pen, multiple times per day. During my senior year of high school, I made the decision to stop smoking and get help. I have been sober ever since and have over 2 years of clean time.

Every Brain Matters Monthly Speakers Meeting- Hayden-Moreau

Join us on the first Friday of every month for messages of hope and healing from the impacts of marijuana.

Hello, my name is Hayden and I am 28 years old. Throughout my life, I have struggled with anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and cannabis-induced psychosis. While some may view this as a negative, I have seen it as an opportunity to grow, learn, and help myself and others. On my quest for self-healing, I studied with teachers and disciplines including yoga, meditation, reiki, shamanism, martial arts, counseling, and volunteered at a suicide prevention hotline. In my work, I try to distill what I have found helpful from these bodies of knowledge and experiences into something easily applicable and practical for anyone. I share some of that information on my YouTube Channel, “Just Being Hayden”, where I focus on specific tools or approaches for mental health, particularly psychosis. I also work with people one-on-one to help them reach their recovery goals and give them tools that may be helpful for them along their journey.

If you have any questions or would like to schedule a session with you you can reach me at:

hmoreau@live.com or @hmoreau19 on Instagram.

Look forward to seeing you!

Hayden

*Please note that I am not a trained medical or mental health professional and nothing I say during the seminar should be treated as or replace professional care.

My hope in sharing with you would be to inspire your own curiosity, creativity, and empowerment. Sometimes realizing you are not alone and seeing that someone has walked the path before you can give the encouragement you need to take the next step in your recovery.
