SUMMARY:Webinar: Methamphetamines and the Brain
DESCRIPTION:-- Webinar Description: --\n\n"Methamphetamines and the Brain
 " is a webinar designed with a harm reduction lens to help individuals u
 nderstand the physiological effects of methamphetamines. This webinar wi
 ll help identify how understanding these physiological effects play a cr
 ucial role in individual practice. This webinar will discuss neurotransm
 itters and their function in over amping and psychosis. Later in the pre
 sentation, we will dive into what happens to the brain when an individua
 l stops using methamphetamines. Science plays a vital role in how we, as
  front-line workers, respond to methamphetamine over amping and psychosi
 s; understanding these body reactions will help develop a greater unders
 tanding.\n\n This course is offered in Term 1. \n\n-- Instructor: Hail
