Join Charlie Health clinical leadership for a one-hour event covering co-occurring disorders (CODs). The experts will explore CODs, where mental health issues coexist with substance use disorders, and discuss principles of recovery-oriented care. Additionally, the speakers will focus on counseling interventions specifically tailored for CODs and provide an in-depth exploration of marijuana use disorder. This event will help participants enhance their skills in supporting individuals with CODs and marijuana use disorder, while promoting recovery and overall well-being.

Learning Outcomes:

1. Define what co-occurring disorders are (e.g., mental health disorders and substance use disorders occurring together).
2. Develop skills in delivering psychotherapy tailored for individuals with CODs.
3. Define what constitutes marijuana use disorder according to diagnostic criteria (e.g., DSM-5).
4. Explore relapse prevention strategies and harm reduction approaches to minimize the negative consequences of marijuana use.
