June 2 @ 2:00 pm – 3:30 pm
The Prevention Technology Transfer Center (PTTC) Network works to improve implementation and delivery of effective substance use prevention interventions, and provide training and technical assistance services to the substance misuse prevention field.
Nearly 1 in 4 adults, 61.5 million, in the United States reported having a mental illness in 2024**. Of those 61.5 million, around a third also reported a co-occurring substance use disorder.
This session will look at:
- Alcohol as a risk factor for suicide
- Mental health risks associated with high potency cannabis use
- Ways in which cannabis withdrawal can contribute to ongoing use
- Opportunities for prevention and intervention
