10 a.m. to Noon
This presentation is for men and those who live with us. It will focus on issues men encounter in life, the process of male initiation, and the continuing journey toward being a man in recovery. This journey calls men to honesty, to openness, to grief, and to the sacred healing of wounds. Both men and women are encouraged to attend.
Presented by Russ Adams, Ph.D.
Russ Adams earned his doctorate in family studies with a strong focus on family therapy. He managed the multifamily group programs at Austin Recovery for a number of years. He also studies rituals and rites of passage ceremonies marking the transition from boyhood to manhood and the impact that has on the entire family. Born and raised in Iowa, Russ got to Texas as fast as he could. He is a teacher and a psychologist who has worked in rehab centers and in the field of recovery for many years. You'll love his presentation on the importance of the journey through recovery.
