This workshop is designed to encourage discussion and explore the many aspects of the role of spirituality in intervention and treatment of drug addiction and other compulsive disorders. Students will be challenged to utilize critical thinking in defining of spirituality and its relevance to their own values, morals, and belief systems. At times, you may experience strong feelings or become agitated. Therefore, it is crucial for us to maintain an open, positive, learning environment, free from value-laden comments.
Negative remarks tend to create defensiveness, alienate others and discourage group participation.
I invite each of you to ask questions and to interact with the speaker to the extent that you feel comfortable.
