Gloria is the founder of Recovering u, and offers highly acclaimed support groups for those who have lost a loved one to addiction. The stigma and shame surrounding the disease of addiction (that often keeps clients from seeking support after addiction-related deaths) can be lessened through education and understanding the role this disease plays in the grief process. The intersection of trauma and grief, the client’s need to receive support for their loss, self-care practices, and the understanding of Post-traumatic Growth are paramount to supporting this kind of bereavement. This activity is approved by the Minnesota Board of Behavioral Health and Therapy for 3 hours of credit for LADC, LPC, and LPCC.  The Retreat is a State of Minnesota Board of Social Work approved Continuing Education Partner.    | Register | | --- | | Person $15.00 USD | | Please Indicate Name | | | ![](https://www.paypalobjects.com/en_US/i/scr/pixel.gif) ### OUR MISSION Our mission is to improve the quality of life for individuals, families and communities affected by alcohol and drug dependency by providing affordable, effective educational services grounded in the Twelve Step principles of Alcoholics Anonymous.
