K'ai Roberts Fu, Speaker and AuthorTwelve-Step meetings are typically seen as a force for good, with no serious drawbacks except predictably terrible coffee. Drawing on her lived experience as a trauma survivor who spent over a decade attending meetings, sociologist, speaker, and author K’ai Roberts Fu challenges this view. In this dynamic, thought-provoking, and surprisingly humorous session, K’ai shares her insider’s perspective to reveal how 12-step programs can unintentionally derail trauma recovery. Attendees will walk away with a clear picture of how 12-step principles contradict trauma recovery best practices; how program principles interfere with developing agency and critical thinking skills; and actionable tips to help clients, loved ones - or even themselves - find solutions that work for them.
K'ai will be available to sign books for anyone who brings their copy of 12 Mis-Steps to the talk (available on Amazon)
There will be time for socializing after the presentation. Free Parking. Open to all.
