Workshop Focus
Addiction is a chronic condition that can affect many aspects of [a person’s] life, including physical and mental health, relationships and career. There are two main forms of addiction: substance use disorders and behavioral addictions. Addiction is treatable. It’s crucial to seek help as soon as possible. – Cleveland Clinic

In this in-person session, Jane Harris will introduce us to the topic of addiction through the lens of pornography addiction. This will be an educational event with the opportunity for a Q&A at the end.

This event will also form the platform for a later online webinar for those who want to have more information around how to practically work with those who have addiction and those that need to recover from addiction.
