Grounded in current research\, this training will equip helping professionals with knowledge to discuss these emerging treatments with patients\, address common misconceptions\, and consider how neurostimulation can complement existing treatment approaches in clinical practice.\nBy the end of this session\, participants will be able to: \n\nDescribe the FDA-approved uses of TMS and tDCS in mental health treatment.\nIdentify key clinical applications of brain stimulation for treatment resistant depression\, smoking cessation\, and other disorders.\nRecognize the future potential of these interventions and their place in evidence-based practice.\nDiscuss ethical considerations in patient education\, referrals\, and scope of practice for mental health clinicians.\n\n  \nREGISTER HERE\nCost: $10 Community Members / FREE for Metrocare Staff (register using Metrocare email address) \n  \nSeats are limited.
