Cannabis and Mental Health: What You Need to Know Training

With the rise of high-THC cannabis products like dabs, edibles, and vape oils, young people are being exposed to stronger and more accessible forms of cannabis than ever before.

Research shows that regular cannabis use during adolescence can have a significant impact on brain development, increasing the risk of anxiety, depression, and dependency.

Did you know?

Nearly 1 in 10 young people (aged 16-24) in the UK have tried cannabis in the past year.

Vaping and edibles are becoming increasingly popular among teens, often perceived as ‘safer’ despite their higher potency.
Early and regular cannabis use has been linked to long-term mental health challenges, including addiction, cognitive impairment, and decreased emotional skills.

This essential training from KIP Education provides youth professionals with a comprehensive understanding of cannabis use, its mental health implications, and practical strategies for supporting young people in making informed decisions.
