damaging effects that befall its victims, and discuss strategies professionals can use to prevent or manage
identified cyberbullying. Cyberbullying is a fast-growing area of concern and all healthcare professionals
should be equipped to spot the signs and provide support for our patients and clients, as well as keep up
with the technology that drives cyberbullying.
Medical Marijuana
Medical Marijuana is a 3-hour online continuing education (CE) course that presents a summary of the
current literature on the various medical, legal, educational, occupational, and ethical aspects of marijuana.
In spite of the fact that nearly half of the states in this country have enacted legislation legalizing marijuana
in some fashion, the reality is that neither the intended "medical" benefits of marijuana nor its known (and
as yet unknown) adverse effects have been adequately examined using controlled studies. Conclusive
literature remains sparse, and opinion remains divided and contentious.This course will address the major
questions about marijuana that are as yet unanswered by scientific evidence. What are the known medical
uses for marijuana? What is the legal status of marijuana in state and federal legislation? What are the
interactions with mental health conditions like anxiety, depression, and suicidal behavior? Is marijuana
addictive? Is marijuana a gateway drug? What are the adverse consequences of marijuana use? Do state
medical marijuana laws increase the use of marijuana and other drugs? The course will conclude with a list
of implications for healthcare and mental health practitioners.
