“Wellbriety teaches that in addition to achieving sobriety from addictions to alcohol and other drugs, one must reach beyond “clean and sober” and seek a life of healing and balance – mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually.” [1]
This training is designed to offer mental health providers, addiction counselors, and peer support unique insight into into what Native men are facing, what counseling services work and don’t work, as well as provide holistic addiction resources for Native Americans and non-Natives.
“Non-Native recovery approaches often look at addiction as an individual disease, ignoring the social, political, or economic roots of addiction. The indigenous experience adds a dimension of acknowledging sociopolitical causes without removing an individual’s need to do the hard work it takes to heal. This is new, culturally specific thinking that can also add to the field of mainstream recovery knowledge.”
Don Coyhis and Richard Simonelli [2]
Designed for advanced licensees who have taken suicide risk assessment and management.
