Importance of participation in Retorno’s workshop for educators
Educators will learn the tools to prevent, recognize, and respond to addiction problems in their institution. When students are in Israel, especially away from their families, it is critical that their educators can identify a potential problem and help to treat it before it gets worse. The curriculum from the workshop will make educators more aware and educated about addiction and recovery.
Importance of participation in Retorno’s workshop for students
Participation in the workshop opens dialogue and provides the tools to recognize signs of addiction in yourself or in your friends. Spending time in Israel away from family is a time filled with potential growth, but also a time when students tend to engage in risky behavior. Know the signs of substance abuse, learn prevention tools, and get skills for how to respond. The tools you develop can help you during your time in Israel and beyond.
