Addiction is sadly a part of many people's lives. The Drug Foundation reports that more than a 1/4 of people have problematic use of alcohol and drugs, plus other forms of addiction. How can churches support individuals and families through addiction recovery? This online training is open to anyone with a pastoral heart or leadership role, as an introduction to addiction and how to offer pastoral care.
Helen Schmidt-Sopoaga is Clinical Lead at Community Alcohol & Drug Services in South Auckland. Her long service was recently recognised with a Lifetime Award by DAPAANZ.
This is part of The Equip Series of online seminars to equip life group leaders and all who offer pastoral care to grow in confidence in Christ to support people facing mental health challenges in your church, community and home group. Run by a national across-churches network of mental health specialists.
