BRUNSWICK—The Sweetser Training Institute presents a special conference with Marianne Farkas in Brunswick on Tuesday, May 8.

The Recovery Process, 9 a.m. to noon

Providing a review of the empirical knowledge underlying the vision of recovery, this workshop outlines the key issues involved in recovery and ways providers can ensure that they are maximizing the service they deliver.

Engaging the Client, , 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.

Recovery requires a change in the basic relationship between provider and client. In a recovery process, the client is the expert.
