In the last quarter of 2021, Youth RISE worked with Kevin Flemen, from Kfx to create a number of resources explaining how drugs interact with our brains and how to mitigate possible mental health challenges that result from or are related to drug use.
Mental health is discussed consistently in the world of harm reduction and used as one of the reasons to keep the War on Drugs going, but what about accurate, scientific and detailed information about drugs and mental health, providing people with key tagetted harm reduction information in regards to mental health and how drugs interact with our brain. This webinar is looking to fill this gap, and explain drugs and mental health, the science of it and harm reduction strategies to mitigate negative mental health impacts.
Kevin created these resources that can be found here, and we also ran 2 webinars where he presented the information and had a fruitful discussion about drugs and mental health.
