Although residential and outpatient addiction programming is very popular and common throughout Minnesota, gender-responsive programming that looks at male socialization, trauma, and relationships (both with oneself and others) is widely ignored or minimized. Stephanie Covington published her seminal work in the addiction field with A Woman's Way through the 12 Steps first published in 1994. Seventeen years later in 2011, she co-wrote Helping Men Recover: A Program for Treating Addiction. Much of the material in this workshop is drawn directly from this innovative program. Through introductory exercises, lecture, PowerPoint, and numerous opportunities for audience input and brainstorming, the topic of male sexuality, addiction and recovery will be thoroughly investigated.
