Join BCCPA's Lunch and Learn to explore the topic of "Cannabis in Seniors’ Care: Reducing Stigma and Supporting Wellness Through Education.", presented by Terese Bowors, a certified cannabis wellness coach with EduCanNation. 

About the webinar:

Seniors are the fastest-growing demographic exploring therapeutic Cannabis for managing symptoms such as chronic pain, anxiety, and sleep disturbances. Yet many find themselves coming up short when seeking informed education and support to navigate this option confidently. This session equips care leaders with science-based education and awareness, empowering them to offer compassionate, non-judgmental support to residents who express interest in Cannabis as part of their wellness journey.

Participants will receive an introductory look at Cannabis in seniors’ care, exploring how Cannabis may support wellness, its therapeutic potential for common conditions, and an overview of common methods of intake. We’ll also touch on the history of Cannabis to help reduce stigma and build understanding. This introduction invites care providers to feel more confident engaging in open, respectful, and informed conversations with clients who are exploring Cannabis as a wellness option.

Key highlights include:

  • Insights into why seniors are turning to Cannabis at unprecedented rates and the barriers they face in accessing reliable information.
  • A review of current scientific evidence on Cannabis’s role in seniors’ wellness.
  • Explore ways to create a more open, supportive environment for seniors considering its application.

This session invites a fresh perspective on cannabis in seniors’ care. Through clear, science-based education, participants are encouraged to move beyond stigma and support seniors with openness and respect.
