Presents
Spirituality As a Resource in Recovery
Presented by Patricia Burke, MSW, LCSW
February 12, 2010 9 a.m. - 4 p.m.
Alumni Hall, 20 Auditorium Hill, Barre
Research has demonstrated that spiritual or religious involvement reduces the risk of substance abuse and is associated with positive outcomes in recovery. This training will expand the discussion of spirituality to include diversity of spiritual expressions and paths, explore the distinction between spirituality and religion and look at the value of spirituality as a resource in recovery. Participants will be introduced to the Circle of Meaning, a tool developed by the presenter to help people explore and honor their own spiritual beliefs, values, practices and meanings.
