Dr. Covington’s innovative, evidence-based 20 session program integrates theories of women’s psychological development, trauma, and addiction to meet the needs of women with addictive disorders. By popular demand we are again opening this virtual training to the general public. Space will be limited for this interactive virtual event.
Over the past forty years our knowledge of women’s lives has increased dramatically, and we have added significantly to our understanding of the treatment needs of women with addictive disorders.
Based on Dr. Covington’s curriculum Helping Women Recover: A Program for Treating Addiction, this interactive training offers a comprehensive treatment model that integrates theories of addiction, women’s psychological development, and trauma. Designed to give counselors, clinicians, and program administrators a basic understanding of the essential elements needed for the development of women’s programs, the training focuses primarily on women’s recovery. The emphasis is on the key issues of self, relationships, sexuality, spirituality, and the trauma-informed therapeutic techniques for dealing with these issues. Trauma-sensitive yoga exercises, updated gender information, and new brain research as it relates to addiction and trauma will be addressed.
This training is conducted by our Certified Trainer, Carol Ackley, LADC, retired Executive Director of River Ridge Treatment Center (2000-2015) who developed and implemented gender responsive, trauma-informed, co-occurring treatment services in the Twin Cities Metropolitan area. Dr. Covington will also offer a Q&A session during the training.
Throughout this interactive training, your trainer also discusses how the treatment program materials can be used with women in the criminal justice system.

The facilitator’s manual is a step-by-step guide containing the theory, structure, and content needed for running groups. A Woman’s Journal, the participant’s workbook, allows women to process and record the therapeutic experience. The materials are designed to be user-friendly and self-instructive. This allows the HWR program to be implemented by a staff with a wide range of training and experience.
