Spirituality Breakfast-Thursday, Sept. 10, 7:30-9am

Looking for a spiritual start to your day? The StepUP® Program at Augsburg College is hosting the annual kick-off event for Recovery Month, the Spirituality Breakfast. It will be held on Thursday, September 10 from 7:30-9:00am, in the East Commons of the Christensen Center. This program is open to Augsburg faculty, staff, students, and the general public. The breakfast and program are FREE and interested attendees must RSVP to Anne Grove in the StepUP office, 612-330-1692.

We hosted 125 attendees at last year’s event where supporters were able to share their spiritual journey and vocations in recovery. This year’s keynote speaker will be Brenda Iliff, the clinical director at the Hazelden Women’s Center, and StepUP students will also speak about how recovery has affected their life.

This September is the 20th anniversary of National Alcohol and Drug Addiction Recovery Month sponsored by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration's (SAMHSA) Center for Substance Abuse Treatment (CSAT). The purpose of Recovery Month is to promote the societal benefits of alcohol and drug addiction treatment, to laud the contributions of treatment providers, and to promote the message that recovery from alcohol and drug disorders in all its forms is possible.
