SUMMARY:Cannabis Use and Misuse Among Older Adults:  Emerging Trends and Implications for Healthy Aging
DESCRIPTION:Please join Dr. Fred Blow as he explores Cannabis Use Within Older Adult Populations. \nThe national landscape of cannabis legalization\, both for medical purposes and recreational use\, is rapidly changing. Further\, in those states that have legalized its use\, there has been a dramatic increase in cannabis outlets\, often called provisioning centers\, that offer a continually expanding array of products that are often more potent than previously available. Older adults are using cannabis both medically and recreationally at increasing rates despite potential for negative consequences. This webinar will examine trends in cannabis use nationally and will review the emerging evidence regarding cannabis use and misuse among individuals as they age. \nPlease register here.

SUMMARY:Nebraska Policy Academy Session 3
DESCRIPTION:In the context of COVID-19\, the needs and health disparities of older adults have been laid bare. Older adults with mental health and substance use issues have faced even greater disparities\, as social isolation\, loneliness\, limited access to health care and support structures\, and the stigma of behavioral health treatment have led to exacerbation of health issues and increases in “deaths of despair.” \nAs vaccinations rise\, and our world begins to return to some new normal\, many older adults – especially those with mental health and substance use issues – will not just bounce back. How do we plan for long term and secondary effects of the pandemic for older adults? \nMeeting these needs will require collaboration across state entities\, and perhaps across state lines\, to build bridges and create policy for action that supports recovery. Participants from the Single State Authority (SSA)\, State Mental Health Authority (SMHA)\, and the State Unit on Aging (SUA)\, along with Housing Authority (HA)\, Transportation Authority (TA)\, and community-based organizations will be invited to discuss local issues and resources to create solutions. \nThis event is by invitation only.
