Addiction and Abuse - The Intimate Connection

A majority of those in addictions treatment and recovery have experienced childhood trauma (domestic violence, sexual abuse, verbal abuse or addiction of a parent). The Heal the Child program is very effective when presented to health care professionals who work with these groups or students who plan to work in this field.

Objectives - Participants Will Learn:

• How the rules in the addictive family lead to compulsive behaviors.
• Effective strategies for healing the wounds of childhood.
• The importance of affirmation in the recovery process.
• The relation between family of origin work and 12 step recovery.
