Description

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 familiesRESPOND: in a way that is not going to cause further harmREFER: an individual to professional resources when neededRALLY: around the individual and their familyThis Addiction 101 course will be focused on step 1: RECOGNIZE. The topics that will be covered within this training will help to define addiction, acknowledge behaviors, understand the science, “return to use”, warning signs, and stages of recovery. Please join us for coffee 9:30-10:00. We would love for you to get to know your fellow Recovery Advocates!LUNCH WILL BE PROVIDED
