Transforming Lives and Strengthening Communities through Addiction Prevention
Compass Mark’s mission is to prevent addiction through education, skill-building and community mobilization.
For over 50 years, our award-winning programs have guided thousands of youth and adults on a healthy and successful life path.
This training provides basic education and insight into the brain disease of addiction and the process of addiction recovery. It will look at how both addiction and the recovery process are directly related to the brain and its biological components. Brain scans of addicted brains will be reviewed to gain a better understanding of the destructive nature of addiction, and attendees will learn about the healing that takes place during the long-term process of recovery. This free event by Karen Carnabucci, MSS, LCSW, offers 5.5 CEUs. More information to be announced. Karen Carnabucci will explore with participants how addiction can be linked to various kinds of trauma in the person’s larger family system.
