6 Anti-Oppressive Social Work Practices CEs
This workshop gives social workers an in-depth understanding of cannabis science, harm reduction, and ethical considerations in practice. Participants will explore the endocannabinoid system (ECS); medical cannabis research; and systemic inequities related to cannabis prohibition, with a focus on its disproportionate impact on Black and Brown communities.
Using harm reduction, trauma-informed care, motivational interviewing, and anti-oppressive frameworks, social workers will gain practical tools to engage clients in informed, nonjudgmental conversations about cannabis use. The session also emphasizes policy advocacy, equipping participants with strategies to address stigma, promote social justice, and advance equitable cannabis policies.
This interactive training includes case discussions, ethical decision-making exercises, and real-world applications to ensure competence in navigating this evolving field.
