Last month, the Consumer Cannabis Council (CCC) kicked off its 6-part series with Senior Care & Cannabis: An Introduction. Now, the CCC is scheduled to host its second digital workshop: Women’s Health & Cannabis.
Workshop #2 is set for 12-1 p.m. Thursday, May 11. The workshop is free to everyone, and attendees will have an opportunity to ask questions. Reserve a spot here. Attend all workshops or pick and chose which ones to attend. Upcoming workshops include information on Anxiety, Autism, and PSTD.
“Supporting your health through each stage of life,” the CCC states. “May is the month of Mother’s Day, so the second of our 6-part Elevation Series will focus on those questions important to the health and wellness for women, mom’s, and the people who care for them.” This workshop caters to adult women and/or healthcare providers who are curious about adding a cannabis-based therapy to their healthcare routine, including menstrual cycle support, menopausal symptom relief, sexual wellness, gynecological conditions (endometriosis, PCOS), and autoimmune disorders (high prevalence in women).
The expert scheduled for Workshop #1 is Katie Sullivan MSN, APRN, FNP-C. Sullivan is co-founder of Modern Compassionate Care, an integrative healthcare clinic that offers medical cannabis care, and mental health counseling. Katie is a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner, who earned her Masters in Nursing from the University of Illinois at Chicago. Prior to specializing in integrative health and medical cannabis, Katie worked in primary care, oncology, women’s health, and adolescent medicine, helping people of all ages manage diverse health challenges and chronic conditions. Her philosophy for nursing care is client-centered, evidence-based, and trauma-informed, with an emphasis on educating and empowering patients to chart their own path to wellness.
Sullivan is an active member of the American Cannabis Nurses Association, the Society of Cannabis Clinicians, the American Association of Nurse Practitioners, the International Association of Psychedelic Nurses, the Illinois Psychedelic Society, Chicago NORML, and the Illinois Cannabis Equity Coalition, and is proud to serve as an appointed member of the Medical Cannabis Advisory Board for the state of Illinois.
