Dawn Farm Education Series

What is it? The Dawn Farm Education Series is a FREE, annual workshop series developed to provide accurate, helpful, hopeful, practical, current information about chemical dependency, recovery, family recovery and related issues, and dispel the myths, misinformation, secrecy, shame and stigma that prevent people from getting help and getting well.

All programs are free and open to anyone interested. Addicts, alcoholics, people in recovery, people interested in recovery, family members/friends and others affected by chemical dependency, people who work with chemically dependent individuals, students, anyone interested in any topic for any reason – ALL ARE WELCOME! 

The Education Series is held from October through June or July each year. Workshops take place at the St. Joseph Mercy Hospital Education Center. (Please click here for the Education Series schedule.)

Each year's Education Series will have exciting NEW workshops and presenters, as well as revisiting previous favorites. We hope you'll join us! Please click here for the Education Series page with details.
