This workshop is designed to help non-medical mental health providers develop a better understanding of psychopharmacology so they can be a more informed member of the mental health care team.

As the number of individuals being prescribed psychiatric medications grows, it becomes increasingly important for professionals to understand the positive and negative potentials of these drugs. Workshop participants will learn about the
various classes of psychiatric medications, their influence on brain function and the effect of the medication on a client's wellbeing. The effects of recreational drugs and drugs of abuse (e.g. cannabis, ecstasy, methamphetamine, alcohol and nicotine) will also be considered.
