COURSE DESCRIPTION
Come join us for a casual, interactive discussion about psych meds. This will NOT be a lecture about pharmacologic mechanisms and neuroreceptors. Instead, we’ll discuss some very practical matters. When can medications be a crutch? How might medications affect the therapeutic relationship (for better or worse)? What effects (for better or worse) might medications have on symptoms you are trying to target? What new mental health issues might medications actually cause and how can you recognize it? When is it appropriate for a therapist to discuss medications or over-the-counters with clients? What’s the deal with marijuana and psychedelics? We’ll explore all things med-related and learn from each other. Please bring your own experiences, positive and negative, as therapists working with medicated patients (and trying to collaborate with irritating psychiatrists).
EDUCATIONAL GOAL
Increase knowledge about psychiatric medications specific to their role in therapy and unintended effects.
MEASURABLE LEARNING OBJECTIVES
By the end of this webinar, attendees will be able to:
● Participants will identify two ways in which medications can affect a clients participation in therapy
● Participants will identify two consequences of the long-term use of benzodiazepine
