Workshops and training opportunities available for Educators and Professionals off-premises:

• Practical Strategies for Treating Eating Disorders
  This one-day workshop approaches recovery as a process of self-integration that involves two processes operating in tension: (1) the gradual surrender of eating disorder behaviors (establishing abstinence), and (2) restoration of fully functional internal self-regulation (restoring the "dis-regulated self" to full psycho-social-spiritual functioning).  Register Now



• Practical Strategies for Treating Chemical Dependency
  The chemically dependent person's commitment to substances for the sake of the rewards is the hallmark feature of the illness. This one-day workshop provides clinicians with the knowledge and skills necessary to help chemically dependent persons surrender their relationship with mood-altering chemicals in favor of healthy relationships with self, others and a "Power greater than self."  Register Now

• Support Group Facilitation Skills
  5-day workshop
  School systems with successful student assistance programs employ support groups as a necessary part of helping students cope with their own or others' chemical use. The primary purpose of such support groups is to provide students with a meaningful opportunity for growth and change. The primary task faced by the group facilitator is "How do I create a safe place in which students can work on painful problems?" This five-day workshop examines the theoretical and practical dynamics of creating a safe and supportive environment. The workshop also allows participants to experience the group process themselves.  Register Now
