Effective leadership and the meaningful exercise of authority require more than intellectual and technical understanding. The Group Relations model in the Tavistock tradition provides a well-defined context within which to examine group-level forces and dynamics as they occur in the here-and-now. As people work in groups, families and other social systems, their participation takes on many different meanings—influencing thoughts, feelings and action. The confluence of individual meanings powerfully affects the identities, roles and authority we take on in groups, schools, organizations, institutions, communities and society. Members of a group relations conference have the opportunity to directly experience: how people join and engage in group work, delegate and resist authority, and develop roles and reputations; how people contribute to and obstruct getting the group’s work accomplished; how members of a group exercise authority, power and influence in meaningful and appropriate ways—both as leaders and as followers; group collusion in the creation and enabling of maladaptive roles; and group support for recovery from these maladaptive roles.

85 million people in the U.S. have been affected by addiction and over 20 million are in long-term recovery. Imagine if each of them came forward to share a story of recovery or a message of support.
The Hope Share, a new story-sharing portal created by The Partnership at Drugfree.org, is designed to elevate stories of recovery and inspire others to speak out and help break the stigma and discrimination surrounding addiction.
We’ve teamed up with proud partners of this project, InTheRooms.com and Faces & Voices of Recovery, to host a unique upcoming virtual experience – The Hope Share: A Live Storytelling Event.
Taking place on Wednesday, February 6th at 9 p.m. EST, participants are encouraged to share their video stories of hope using their webcam during this 90-minute LIVE event to help inspire others and spark meaningful conversation around alcohol and other drug problems and addiction.
Share your powerful story and help encourage families who are struggling with a young person’s addiction, and let them know that there is hope, and that recovery is possible.

A Different Kind of Substance Abuse and Addiction Treatment Conference.
The current field of Substance Abuse and Addiction Treatment has been evolving for almost eight decades now. During this time, we have seen many important developments as well as many failed experiments. It seems time to step back and conduct a professional inventory of where we have been, where we are now, and where we are heading. We provide a forum that encourages professional dialogues of controversial issues, showcases innovative and creative treatment approaches, and offers an overview of the field and its future.

Celebrate Recovery is a biblical and balanced program that helps us overcome our hurts, hang-ups, and habits. It is based on the actual words of Jesus rather than psychological theory. 20 years ago, Saddleback Church launched Celebrate Recovery with 43 people. It was designed as a program to help those struggling with hurts, habits and hang-ups by showing them the loving power of Jesus Christ through a recovery process. Celebrate Recovery has helped more than 17000 people at Saddleback, attracting over 70% of its members from outside the church. Eighty-five percent of the people who go through the program stay with the church and nearly half serve as church volunteers.
Celebrate Recovery is now in over 19,000 churches worldwide!

God has a plan for our lives; however, there are things that can hinder His plan. We believe God has the answers and all that we need to become healthy in our thinking. Many of us have developed unhealthy habits and patterns of thinking; God wants to change that. We need to be willing participants with Christ and allow Him to make the changes He desires.

In April 2009, an innovative approach to Behavioral Health took place at Daley Park in Tempe Arizona. Approximately 350 people participated in the First Tournament of Champions Kickball Challenge. On that day, the barriers came down and the spirit of recovery flourished as Service Recipients, Families, and Service Providers joined together for a day of fun, food and friendship. This is healthy way for all of us to engage with one another and bring a humanistic approach to services. The collaboration between all the organizations can be a miracle in its self, but when it all comes down to it health and happiness is all our focus.
The event has been such a success we are having our 9th bi annual event Friday April 12, 2013. It is simply amazing seeing so many people from different walks of life join together and experience such fun, laughter and sharing.

“In the Doctor's Office: Recovery Friend or Foe?” will be presented by Dr. Mark A. Weiner, MD; Internal Medicine and Addiction Medicine; and Matthew Statman, LMSW, CAADC; University of Michigan Collegiate Recovery Program Manager. It's been said that the doctor’s office is a dangerous place for people in recovery from addiction. It's also been said that recovering people are terrible patients. This program will discuss whether these statements are fair and why doctors and other healthcare providers are essential allies for long term recovery. We will describe in detail how recovering people can take responsibility for their physical health and how to recruit health care providers as allies. This program is part of the FREE, annual Dawn Farm Education Series. Anyone with a personal or professional interest is welcome to attend!

Bill W., founder of AA
Bill W. tells the story of William G. Wilson, co-founder of Alcoholics Anonymous, a man included in TIME Magazine's "100 Persons of the 20th Century." Interviews, recreations, and rare archival material reveal how Bill Wilson, a hopeless drunk near death from his alcoholism, found a way out of his own addiction and then forged a path for countless others to follow. With Bill as its driving force, A.A. grew from a handful of men to a worldwide fellowship of over 2 million men and women – a success that made him an icon within A.A., but also an alcoholic unable to be a member of the very society he had created. A reluctant hero, Bill Wilson lived a life of sacrifice and service, and left a legacy that continues every day, all around the world.

For those familiar with any 12-Step Program, the most remarkable aspect of these is the fact that only the first of the twelve steps makes any mention of the addictive substance or act. Sobriety/abstinence is described as a “daily reprieve contingent on the maintenance of our spiritual condition”. Our opportunity for genuine spiritual fulfillment is strengthened when we weave together the ancient wisdom of Yoga and Ayurveda with the practical tools of recovery programs. Together they offer us a truly empowering personal program of recovery. 12-Step Programs also recommend an “occasional retreat from the outside world where we can quiet down for an undisturbed day or so of self-overhaul and meditation”. Yoga of Recovery offers retreats in beautiful, peaceful locations where you can relax, recover, and rejuvenate.
12-Step programs propose a spiritual remedy and do not offer much advice for the physical dimension of healing from addiction. One very important aspect of this is Hatha yoga – the asanas and breathing exercises. During the retreat you will practice yogic physical exercises – asanas (suitable for all levels) along with breathing exercises and conscious relaxation

Evidence-based studies have shown that when young people feel that drugs and alcohol will harm them, they are less likely to use these drugs. Other studies have shown that when people want recovery, and know that it is possible, they are more likely to seek it.
We are pleased tell you about our third annual Recovery Art Exhibition for high school and college students, age 14-29, in New Hanover, Pender, and Brunswick counties whose work is selected to appear in a juried two-dimensional art exhibition on "Drug Addiction and/or Recovery". Drugs include alcohol, tobacco, illegal drugs, or abused prescription drugs. There is no entry fee and artists retain ownership of their original artwork. In previous years, the exhibit was said to be “important”, “incredible”, “amazing”, and “brought tears to my eyes”.
The exhibition of selected pieces is held at the Sherman L. Hayes Gallery (1st floor) of the Randall Library at the University of North Carolina Wilmington (UNCW) in July and August. Monetary awards are given for the top three submissions.
Forms can be found at www.LCWProductions.com/ART.html. Submissions are due April 15, 2013.

The 6th Annual Mid Carolina NAMIWalks will be held Saturday April 20, 2013 at the West Columbia Riverwalk Park and Amphitheater.
The goal of the walk is to raise awareness regarding mental illness within the Midlands of South Carolina and to increase funding to expand the reach of NAMI’s educational and support programs in our community. The proceeds from the Walk will be used by NAMI Mid-Carolina:
- To provide hands-on support and education to persons with serious brain disorders and to their families
- To advocate for improved opportunities for housing, rehabilitation and meaningful jobs
- To support public education programs designed to help eliminate the pervasive stigma surrounding mental illness which often prevents people from seeking treatment
Your support can help NAMI Mid-Carolina meet these goals in our community. You can lend your support as a Corporate Sponsor, a Team Captain, a Walker or perhaps as all three - please contact us to learn more about this exciting opportunity for the Midlands of South Carolina!

Dallas NAMIWalks is a 5K Walk event designed to increase NAMI’s visibility in our community in order to raise awareness about mental illness, and raise funds to support NAMI programs across North Texas.
Every year, the Walk helps people understand the impact that mental illness has on their communities; the prevalence and indiscriminate nature of these illnesses; the fact that recovery is possible if treatment is available; and about the hope that NAMI provides. As we grow and add to the number of people that know about NAMI and understand the important role NAMI plays in their lives, we also reduce the number people that have misconceptions about mental illness and those that are affected by it.
It’s time to think about how you plan on participating in the 9th Annual 2013 Dallas NAMIWalk on Saturday, May 4, 2013.

Who is your Hero? Is it a loved one who has struggled with mental health disorder? A veteran or active duty service member? A provider who leads the charge for access to better treatment? A parent who offers you unconditional love and support? A spouse or significant other who is a partner, for better for worse? A child who bravely faces his or her challenges?
The NAMI NJ Step Forward for Your Heroes Walk offers you an opportunity to Walk for your Hero, and show your support for the programs and activities that NAMI New Jersey provides throughout the state to improve the lives of those affected by serious mental illness and their families.
Our Heroes are veterans who have fought for our freedom, consumers, family members, providers and everyone who has undertaken the battle to support people affected by mental illness. The 2012 Step Forward for our Heroes Walk brought 1500 walkers to Seaside Park to support our Heroes. We are proud to be one of the largest and most successful mental illness awareness event in New Jersey! Through NAMIWalks' public, active display of support for people affected by mental illness, we are changing our American communities and ensuring that help and hope are available for those in need.

We hope you'll save the date for Oklahoma's 10th annual NAMIWalks on Saturday, May 18, 2013. Last May over 2,000 Oklahomans walked to raise awareness about mental illness and break down the pervasive stigma that surrounds it. Mental illnesses are brain disorders that often affect people in the prime of life. Without treatment the consequences are dire-unemployment, homelessness, substance abuse, inappropriate incarceration, suicide, and wasted lives. NAMI's free education, support, and advocacy programs provide hope and awareness that recovery is possible.

Connecticut’s 2013 NAMI Walks is our TENTH ANNIVERSARY Walk. Over the last ten years we have raised almost a million dollars to help support our NAMI Connecticut education, support and advocacy program. The Walk is also our premier event to raise awareness about mental illness and to help reduce stigma and other barriers to care.
Our team captains really make a difference. Their hard work, organization, willingness to solicit funds and bring their teams together on Walk day helped us attract over 1,200 at our last Walk.
And, being a team captain is FUN! Throughout the months leading up to
Walk day we hold team captain “challenges” that provide individual captains with great gifts and donor sponsored activities. There’s also a great post-walk event for all team captains where we honor those who helped us so much.
PLEASE JOIN US FOR THIS VERY SPECIAL 10TH ANNIVERSARY WALK. We can’t do it without you!

The 2013 St. Louis NAMIWalks will be held on May 25, 2013 at Forest Park, in the Upper Muny Parking Lot. Whether you are new to the NAMIWalks, or an experienced veteran, we look forward to your leadership and support in 2013. Every person that walks is helping to fight the stigma around mental illness.
The NAMI St. Louis Walk is vital to our efforts. Not only do the funds raised help pay for the education classes, support groups, and advocacy that we do each year, it helps to educate the general public about mental illness. As our walk grows larger, the stigma of mental illness becomes less.
Due to the strong support of people like you, NAMI St. Louis was able to serve over 9,000 people last year living in St. Louis City, as well as St. Louis, St. Charles, Jefferson, Franklin, Lincoln and Warren counties. This is all due to your help!
