Upcoming Trainings
Platform: Live on Zoom
Explore the evolving landscape of cannabis in this timely and research-based training. Join us as we examine how commercialization and increased THC potency have reshaped today’s cannabis products. Through engaging discussion and clear, science-informed education, we will unpack what high-potency cannabis means for youth, families, and communities.
Participants will gain clarity on modern cannabis products including concentrates, vapes, and edibles, understand the public health implications of higher THC levels, and explore practical prevention and community response strategies. Our facilitators create a balanced, supportive space for learning, reflection, and thoughtful conversation grounded in data rather than stigma.
Outcomes:
Participants will increase their understanding of high-potency cannabis, current product trends, associated public health risks, and actionable prevention strategies relevant to their professional roles.
This training will be hosted on Zoom. After you purchase your ticket, our team will send a link to the email associated with your registration.
Many of us have had Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) in the past, but they do not have to be our destiny.
Mezzo Solution's Positive and Adverse Childhood Experiences (PACEs) Workshop is not your typical ACEs presentation. Participants increase their understanding of research about PACEs and how they work together to impact our lives and our organizations, systems, and communities.
Outcomes:
Participants leave with concrete actions they can take to improve the lives of those around them, with an invitation to join a broader community conversation to make an impact.
This training will be hosted on Zoom. After you have purchased your ticket our team will send you a link to the email associated with your purchase.

You did not choose this work expecting it to be easy. Compassion fatigue, occupational stress, and burnout are not signs that you are doing it wrong — they are signs that you are human, doing extraordinarily demanding work without enough tools to sustain it.
This 2-hour live virtual training introduces Mindfulness-Based Stress Management (MBSM): a skills-focused, evidence-informed approach developed specifically to help professionals in high-demand fields actively manage occupational stress — not simply reduce it.
MBSM extends that foundation with a professional orientation: it is built on the premise that stress will continue to show up in your work — with your clients, your caseload, and your system. What changes is your relationship to it and your capacity to navigate it with skill, awareness, and intention.
Research on mindfulness training in healthcare and helping professions demonstrates improvements in occupational stress, emotional reactivity, compassion fatigue, and therapeutic presence. In this session, we bring that evidence to life.
You will learn the neuroscience behind stress and mindfulness, engage in facilitated practice, and leave with a practical management framework and curated resources you can use starting today — from home, your office, or wherever you join us on Zoom.
What You Will Learn
The key distinction between stress reduction and stress management — and why it matters for helping professionals
The neuroscience of occupational stress: how chronic exposure affects the brain, body, and clinical performance
The evidence base for mindfulness-based interventions in healthcare and social service settings
Core mindfulness practices adapted for professional use: breath awareness, body scan, and open observation
How to integrate brief, sustainable mindfulness practice into a high-demand schedule
Post-session resources, programs, and a daily practice framework for continued development
Who This Training Is For

Licensed Clinical Addiction Counselors (LCACs) and Substance Use Professionals
Case managers, peer support specialists, and direct care workers

No prior mindfulness experience is required. This training meets you where you are
