SUMMARY:HSABC Webinar: Methamphetamines and the Brain
DESCRIPTION:Webinar Description:\n"Methamphetamines and the Brain" is a w
 ebinar designed with a harm reduction lens to help individuals understan
 d the physiological effects of methamphetamines. This webinar will help 
 identify how understanding these physiological effects play a crucial ro
 le in individual practice. This webinar will discuss neurotransmitters a
 nd their function in over amping and psychosis. Later in the presentatio
 n, we will dive into what happens to the brain when an individual stops 
 using methamphetamines. Science plays a vital role in how we, as front-l
 ine workers, respond to methamphetamine over amping and psychosis; under
 standing these body reactions will help develop a greater understanding.
