Dawn Farm Education Series - Current Information From Experts!
About the Dawn Farm
Education Series
What is it? The Dawn Farm Education Series is a FREE, annual workshop series
developed to provide accurate, helpful, hopeful, practical, current information
about chemical dependency and recovery.
The Education Series is intended to provide quality education to people
in Southeast Michigan; correct the myths, misinformation, and lack of access to
reliable information about chemical dependency that function as barriers to
recovery; reduce the secrecy, shame and
stigma that prevent people with alcohol and other drug addictions and their
families from getting help and getting well; and disseminate
accurate information as a step towards changing the culture in our community to
one supportive of recovery. All programs
are free and open to anyone interested.
Programs are presented by Dawn Farm staff and other experts, and include
a variety of topics on addiction, recovery, family, and related issues.
Who is it for? People with alcohol/other drug addiction,
people in recovery from alcohol/other drug addiction, people interested in
recovery, family members/friends and others affected by chemical dependency,
people who work with chemically dependent individuals, students, anyone
interested in any topic for any reason - ALL ARE WELCOME! The Education Series provides information
that will help people with alcohol/other drug addiction to achieve, maintain
and strengthen their recovery, assist family members and friends to understand
and support recovery in people they care about as well as maintain their own
health and well-being, and aid professionals and students in various
disciplines to work effectively with chemically dependent individuals and
people affected by chemical dependency, and to support their recovery
processes.
