2016 CCDA National Conference — Los Angeles Workshop
Understanding and Responding to Addiction and Mental Health Disorders — Kenny House
This interactive workshop will address those either interesting in being introduced to, or already experienced in community development work, to equip them primarily in 3 areas: 1) To update their understanding of current trends in substance use and mental health issues – with a special emphasis on the current heroin crisis; 2) to discuss the various responses to addiction and mental health, and how effective they are; and, 3) to address what might be the most effective responses based on the research from a faith perspective.
