Walking with People in Addiction
Coming up this Autumn on the 12th and 13th November is a Forge Training called 'Walking with people in Addiction' It's going to be on Tuesday and Wednesday 7:30-9:30pm on Zoom.
We chose this training as addiction so permeates our culture and it has such wide reaching effects as a result. Having a greater understanding, ways to signpost, stories and examples of how to walk with those in addiction or recovery we felt would be a really helpful training to provide for the churches.
Zoom in for two evenings with teaching, stories and information about the realities of addiction. This training will help you understand addiction’s roots and signs, along with equipping you with ways of walking with those in addiction and recovery.
Here is the booking link, it's a free event but requires booking: https://bccs.churchsuite.com/events/hvsypbaz
