Current Information From Local 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 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. 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? 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 provides information
that 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.
