Mental Health, Marijuana & Youth
Join us for an informative presentation by Jason Kilmer, PhD of the University of Washington's Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences regarding the connection of Mental Health and Marijuana for youth. Learn more about the current research, youth perception and misperception, and the impact of such on a youth's brain. Dr. Kilmer's engaging approach to sharing this information hits home with many young people (youth are encouraged to attend!); challenging and changing their perceptions of use for themselves and among their peers. This open and honest dialogue is what every adult who has youth in their lives needs to hear!
