Working with addictions isn’t an option for today’s counselors; rather it is a necessity. Understanding the brain’s role in creating and maintaining addictions is crucial to working with clients with chemical and/or behavioral addictions. The weekend elective will lay the physical and theoretical foundation for understanding addiction along with many practical exercises utilizing Michael Dye’s Genesis Change Process. After this course, you will be able to give your clients clinical understanding and practical tools for addressing this rapidly growing problem inside and outside the church.

Workshop attendees will learn how to overcome reluctances that prohibit individuals from financial success in their career endeavors. The fear of self-promotion is a condition in which even highly competent people receive far less in position, compensation, and recognition than they feel they deserve. You can do the best job and have the highest quality education, but that alone does not assure financial rewards. Clients usually go to those who do the best job "promoting" what they can do and why they are the best equipped to do it. The workship attendees will take an individualized assessment and receive training to remove reluctances, and move forward to make a living with their education.
