PRODUCT INFORMATION

Description

Attending a Twelve Step meeting for the first time can be a challenge for clients. This DVD encourages viewers to ""keep coming back"": to try a Twelve Step meeting and continue attending until they find a group that works for them. Introduction to Twelve Step Groups comes with a free facilitator's guide and worksheet that encourages dialogue between the professional and the client about Twelve Step meetings. The video is especially helpful after the client has attended a meeting and completed the worksheet, as the client can see if anything new has been learned.
