Dawn Farm Education Series
Current Information From Local Professionals – and others!
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 addicts, alcoholics
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. Workshops 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? Addicts, alcoholics, people in recovery,
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 will help addicts and
alcoholics 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 in various disciplines to work effectively with chemically
dependent individuals and people affected by chemical dependency, and to
support their recovery process.
