RSVP  (by May 6)

The New Westminster Ministerial Association, in Association with Union Gospel Mission invites you to a Breakfast Workshop on Saturday, May 9 at 9:30 a.m. at Olivet Baptist Church (613 Queens Ave, New Westminster).

Everybody copes.  Why we need to understand addiction in others and ourselves. And what that has to do with our ministries.

Contrary to what many of us have grown up believing, addiction has very little to do with a substance or an action but rather the feelings and hurts behind why we are "using" in the first place. This seminar will look at the underlining reasons of why and how we all learn to cope and how it becomes central to how we help others and ourselves throughout all different types of ministries.

Participants will learn:

  • Definitions of important terms in addiction and recovery
  • Different types of addiction
  • How the brain works
  • The goals of recovery
