Helping Women Recover and Beyond Trauma

Course Hours: 21.0 Hours

Course Description

Over the past thirty years our knowledge of women?s lives has increased dramatically, and we have added significantly to our understanding of the treatment needs of chemically dependent women. Based on Dr. Covington?s treatment curricula Helping Women Recover: A Program for Treating Addiction, the workshop offers a comprehensive treatment model that integrates theories of addiction, women?s psychological development, and trauma. Designed to give counselors, clinicians, recovering women, and others a basic understanding of the current knowledge related to addiction, the workshop focuses primarily on women?s recovery. The workshop emphasizes the key issues of self, relationships, sexuality, spirituality, and the therapeutic techniques for dealing with these issues. Throughout the workshop, the trainer also discusses how the treatment program materials can be used with women in the criminal justice system, the most hidden group of women in our society.
