A generous grant awarded to Not One More Alabama by Laughlin Funeral Home along with support from our sponsors and donors, has allowed us to offer a Grief Workshop for individuals/families who have lost a loved-one to the disease of addiction. The workshop will be October 11 - 13, 2019 and led by Maggie Banger, LPC-S, NCC and John McAnulty, LPC-SC from Birmingham, and Jack Sykstus, MS, MFT from Arlington, VA.
Maggie holds a certification as a Grief Recovery Specialist from the Grief Recovery Institute. She has also worked in the field of addiction recovery, serving as a primary counselor, assessment specialist and Clinical Program Coordinator for Bradford Health Care's Extended Care Program in Warrior, AL. John is also Certified as a Grief Recovery Specialist through the Grief Recovery Institute. He has worked with individuals struggling with addiction for more than 15 years. Jack is a native of Huntsville and has spent the past seven years working in the addiction field in various capacities. As a Marriage and Family Therapist and a Grief Recovery Specialist, Jack works with individuals and families struggling with the effects of addiction, grief and loss.
The weekend workshop will be held at The Lodge at The Vision in south Huntsville. The Lodge is operated by the non-profit organization Vision Ministry, Inc. It is a sprawling retreat, conference and Christian ministry facility nestled in the foothills of Green Mountain. Overnight accommodations on-site are available and enrollment is limited.
