ReMind is a new course designed for school and community-based organizations to address the growing impact of cannabis use on youth.
Key Features of ReMind
- Focus on Mental Health: Addressing the immediate and long-term adverse impacts of cannabis use. This includes how high-potency THC directly exacerbates anxiety, depression, and paranoia—issues especially prevalent among adolescents.
- Comprehensive Mind/Body Impacts: The curriculum details the physiological toll of cannabis, exploring its effects on the heart, brain, lungs, and stomach. Participants will learn about the severe risks of "greening out" (physical overdose), understand how withdrawal feels, and recognize the importance of seeking medical support.
- Actionable Cognitive Behavioral Techniques (CBT): The course integrates effective CBT techniques from our ReFresh program to equip youth with practical skills. The "If/Then" planning technique, introduces a direct, actionable way for participants to anticipate and manage cravings and high-risk situations.
- Expanded Circle of Care: Recognizing that highly concentrated THC products (like dabs and edibles) can lead to more difficult and intense withdrawal symptoms, ReMind broadens the support network including doctors, specialized addiction professionals, and mental health experts, ensuring that quitting and managing withdrawal is safe and effective.
