DESCRIPTION:Event Description:\n\nThe Highs and Lows of Medical Cannabis and Death of Despair: Rethinking Urban Gangs and Gun Violence \n\nThe Highs and Lows of Medical Cannabis, Presenter - Kelsey Lynn Schwander, PharmD, Clinical Assistant Professor, SIUE
Medical cannabis has received attention in the United States regarding laws and regulations, community controversies, and its use as a possible pharmaceutical agent. It is legal in 33 states and is here to stay. This training will help participants understand the role of cannabis in laws, culture, as a potential medical agent and impact on public health through a scientific approach. The participants will further understand how medical cannabis impacts their patients and social work practice. The training will include a combination of didactic lecturing, group discussions and active participation. Participants will be expected to listen and participate in group activities. This will enhance the participants understanding and ability to apply concepts to their practice sites.
Registration Deadline: October 26, 2021: Available online only via Zoom webinar October 29, 2021, 9am to Noon
Death of Despair: Rethinking Urban Gangs and Gun Violence, Presenter - Robert Aspholm, PhD, MSW, Assistant Professor, University of St. Thomas
This professional development session will involve a detailed exploration of street gangs and gun violence as they pertain to the lives of young people in dispossessed urban communities and to broader issues of social policy and social justice. The research that forms the basis for this training was carried out in Chicago and East St. Louis, the regions with the highest levels of gang involvement and gun violence in the state of Illinois, and the latter of which is situated adjacent to SIUE in the wider St. Louis metropolitan footprint.
The training topics are pertinent to social work practitioners working with young people, families, and those involved in the juvenile and criminal justice systems, particularly those practicing in urban areas. But they are also pertinent to social workers who work with other dispossessed and disaffected populations whose lives may be affected in similar ways by similar structural forces. Exploring and considering these connections will be an integral component of this training.
Registration Deadline: October 26, 2021; Available online only via Zoom Webinar November 5, 2021, 9am to Noon
