Welcome St. Leonards Ministries

For those of you who attended my workshop on Friday 2/10 at St. Leonard's Ministries, welcome and thanks for visiting this blog. Also, thanks for making it a lively and valuable discussion on Friday.

Here is a link to the Safety and Sobriety manual I mentioned in the workshop. It's a big document (185 pages) so you might want to save it to your computer rather than printing it out. To do this "right-click" on the link and select "Save Target As" or "Save Link As".

This document, produced by Illinois Dept. of Human Services has excellent information on best practices in domestic violence and substance abuse treatment. You will find the "Power and Control" wheel that I talked about near the end in a section called "Tool Kit".

If you have any thoughts or questions from Friday's workshop, please feel free to leave a comment by clicking on "comments" below. In the meantime, I'll try to put some of my own thoughts together and post something related to the workshop in the next few days.

Thanks for stopping by.
