Addiction 101 Training

Our vision at GSN is to reduce the stigma of shame surrounding addictions and mental health disorders. Shame leads to isolation, preventing individuals and families from seeking help and support. No one should suffer alone. We envision congregations that lead with compassion and provide hope, healing, resources and support to their own congregants and the community.

We hope to help educate the community on the four R's:

• RECOGNIZE: how trauma, addictions and mental health disorders affect individuals and their families

• RESPOND: in a way that is not going to cause further harm

• REFER: an individual to professional resources when needed

• RALLY: around the individual and their family

This training will be focused on step 1: RECOGNIZE.

This CHOICES Addiction & Recovery 101 course will be presented by Ron Bodendorf with 2nd Chance Recovery. The topics that will be covered within this training will help to define addiction, acknowledge behaviors, understand the science, “return to use”, warning signs, stages of recovery, and more.
