Title | Off The Rocks Theater Benefit Performance |
Description | About this benefit: Joan Cullinane and Morgan Hobkirk are local actors who were commissioned to write self-revelatory solo performances through Out Norths Under 30 showcase in 2005 and 2006. As a fundraiser for Off
the Rocks, Cullinane and Hobkirk are reprising their popular performances for one night.
Merrow is the artists journey as a mental health worker and consumer. Working with puppets and a game show Joan Cullinane draws the audience into her show and onto the stage.
"Outside the Lines" takes us into Morgan Hobkirk's world of living with multiple learning disabilities. He shows us his difficulties with shoe-tying, childhood, school days and adult life, where he is helped
and or hindered by teachers, counselors and the bureaucracy.
What is Off the Rocks? Off the Rocks is a project using theatre and drama therapy as tools to create a healing process for women in recovery
and to increase community awareness about substance abuse. This exciting
project started from a grassroots effort by drama therapist Tami Lubitsh, Akeela Inc., and Out North. Across the United States, successful and innovative treatment methods are springing up. In
Anchorage, Alaska, we have the Off the Rocks theatre group. Our drama therapy group is using theatre to promote health, foster growth, and enhance the wellness of individuals and the community at-large.
Visit the Off the Rocks website at: www.offtherocks.org
Off the Rocks is funded in part by a grant from the Alaska Mental Health Trust Authority.

To celebrate this event, Promoting Safe and Stable Families (PSSF) of SODAT Delaware, Inc. will be hosting the 6th Annual Walk/Rally for Treatment and Recovery from Substance Abuse on Saturday, September 13, 2008. The purpose of this activity is to educate the community about substance abuse prevention and intervention. The theme for this year is Focus on Families in Crisis.
The Walk will start at 10:30am from 5th and Walnut Streets in Wilmington, Delaware and end at Rodney Square located at 10th and King Streets. The rally will be from 11am until 3pm. There will be live entertainment, refreshments, prizes, speakers, and vendors.

Description | What better way to kick off Recovery Month than with a full day of Gospel Celebration? Please note that this is a community-based initiative, and it will not be successful without the full support of our capable community members and leaders. Come one; come all!
The days twofold objective is to celebrate the lives and newfound freedom of men and women who have paid their debt to society and to promote the reconnection of families once broken due to incarceration. This event will engage everyone involved in a spiritual atmosphere, emphasizing the importance of faith-based consciousness in productive reentry and in sustaining the effort to remain free, clean, sober and serene. Our ultimate desire is to eradicate recidivism, restore self-esteem, reintroduce the individual back into society, reassembling families and reconciling communities. |

Title | Tree of Hope Celebration |
Description | NCADD of Middlesex County, Inc. celebrates National Recovery Month each September by awarding the Tree of Hope to an organization that promotes recovery. Too often, the publics image of an alcoholic or drug addict is that of someone in, or one step away from, the gutter.
The Tree of Hope aims to change that image by bringing together individuals who have experienced the life-changing transformation that true recovery brings. These individuals are our neighbors, friends, and family members. By recognizing these individuals publicly, they not only help change the perception that addiction is hopeless, but their example can be a powerful inspiration for those just starting on the road to recovery themselves.
This years recipient is Crawford House in Skillman. A ceremony to re-dedicate their Tree of Hope, and recognize the facility, will be held September 16th starting at 5pm. |

Title | CELEBRATE RECOVERY at Abundant Life Church of God |
Description | Celebrate Recovery is open to everyone who is battling any type of habit, struggle or hurt.
This recovery program addresses all types of habits, hurts and hang-ups. Some recovery programs deal only with alcohol or drugs or another single problem. But Celebrate Recovery is a "large umbrella" program under which a limitless number of issues can be dealt with.
This recovery program is forward-looking. Rather than wallowing in the past, or dredging up and rehearsing painful memories over and over, Celebrate Recovery focuses on the future. Regardless of what has already happened, the solution is to start making wise choices now and depend on Christ's power to help me make those changes.
This recovery program emphasizes personal responsibility. Instead of playing the "accuse and excuse" game of victimization, this program helps people face up to their own poor choices and deal with what they can do something about. We cannot control all that happens to us. But we can control how we respond to everything. That is a secret of happiness. When we stop wasting time fixing the blame, we have more energy to fix the problem. When you stop hiding your own faults and stop hurling accusations at others, then the healing power of Christ can begin working in your mind, will, and emotions.

Program Agenda | 7:00-8:00-- As soon as you walk through our doors, youll be greeted by one of our leaders, who will give you all of the materials youll need for the meeting. We start each meeting with a time of uplifting and inspiring music to set the tone. Our perspective is forward looking. While we all must recognize our past actions, Celebrate Recovery does not dwell on the past but focuses on the future, one where we have everlasting freedom from our burdens.
After the music, there is a message which is based on proven life-changing principles that address our attitudes and habits
8:00-9:00-- Next, we break out into small groups to further discuss and apply what weve learned with others who are struggling with the same issues.
Small groups allow the opportunity to share personal thoughts and feelings, give and receive support as well as learn specific attitudes and behaviors to successfully overcome your challenges and struggles in a safe setting. We respect the privacy of one another, so whats shared does not go beyond those in the group. And, each group is lead by someone who has participated in the program, so the group leader understands what youre going through. While we acknowledge taking personal responsibility as part to the recovery progress, you are not in this alone you have the support of your group, the group leader, a personal sponsor, and the almighty power of God in whom nothing is impossible!

Title | 2008 DWI Symposium-SAMHSA & NAADAC sponsored |
Description | Addressing the issue of DWI involves a surprising, almost staggering, number of variables. Multiple prevention strategies are available, various treatment options exist, enforcement activities range from preventing the illegal sale and use of alcohol to stopping drunk drivers, and the monitoring of convicted DWI offenders for compliance with court mandates varies between jurisdictions.
When multiple agencies are tasked with finding solutions to the DWI issue and various funding streams must be leveraged to operate efficiently,
Bringing the Pieces Together is essential.
The DWI Affiliates 2008 Symposium is a venue for members of the criminal justice enterprise, prevention networks and treatment community to:
Participate in interdisciplinary learning toward a comprehensive understanding of the DWI issue,
Learn discipline-specific best practices, and
Strategize toward solutions to the DWI issue. |

Title | Parenting in Recovery |
Description | Addiction is a family disease and recovery is a family process. The impact of parental addiction on children is devastating. The deep-seated resentment, mis-treatment and neglect experienced by these children can be resolved as the parent undertakes the process of recovery. This seminar is designed to provide participants with a clearer understanding of the significant issues a parent in recovery typically experiences and the ensuing family struggles as the parent begins recovery. Strategies for maximizing strong, recovery-based parenting skills will be discussed. 12 Step, recovery-based parenting skills can be used by all parents, not just those in recovery from addiction.
