An Online Resource Library on Gender-Based Violence.

This is Your Brain on Drugs. This is Your Brain on Trauma.

Event Date
Thursday, October 18, 2018, 03:00PM

Many of us remember the PSA: This is Your Brain on Drugs.Although the “war on drugs” has had many unintended negative consequences, we remember the egg in the skillet—a powerful image connecting brain function to drug use. Since the 80’s we’ve learned much about the effects of both trauma and opioids on brain structure and chemistry. In this webinar, presenters will provide participants the tools to confidently discuss the basic science of the surprisingly similar effects of trauma and opioids on the brain, as well as medication and therapeutic interventions, with clients, colleagues, and policy makers.
