What is ABC?
This course is part of the College of Counseling & Healthcare at the University of the Nations.
The ABC school is designed to help the student understand all the aspects of addictions and equip them in the field of recovery.
In the present day, we are being bombarded with the stress of a busy life and the need for success. This often leads to superficial relationships as well as dysfunctional ways of living.
We develop defense mechanisms that can lead to vicious cycles of addiction-related to work, sexuality, eating disorders, and more. We also develop coping mechanisms such as the use of substances like drugs and alcohol in our attempt to bring relief to our pain.
This school brings a mature approach and helps us to uncover these issues and to work with God’s strategies for recovery and the blessing of a full life. The school also covers other areas, including trauma and abuses that result from addiction cycles and codependent relationships.
As Christians, our challenge is to help people to focus on the finished work of Jesus Christ on the cross. As we do this, we can help people find freedom from addictions and other destructive lifestyles.
