Description

The Journey to Wholeness (JTW) program was developed by the North American Division of Seventh-day Adventists to provide a safe environment for individuals recovering from addictions. These “Recovery Groups” follow the 12 Steps to recovery, as modified from Alcoholics Anonymous, through an Adventist & Christian approach. Facilitator training is key to successfully running the JTW program. You will learn from professionals working in addiction recovery as well as lay members who have integrated this program in their church and community.

Objectives

1. To recognize the role of the church in supporting the recovery process for individuals and communities
2. To gain skills in conducting a successful 12-step, Journey to Wholeness, recovery program
