Addiction has a stranglehold on many, trapping them in poverty. Freedom is attainable, but feeble, half-hearted attempts for it won’t cut it. A sustained, deeply rooted motivation for change is key to escaping the grip of addiction. As charity practitioners, we can help build this unwavering motivation with the right strategies and language. Join True Charity and Adult and Teen Challenge as we explore how to foster a healthy desire for change in those who are in the clutches of addiction. You’ll leave with a better understanding of the true nature of addiction as well as tools to attack the roots of addiction in those you serve.
