THE
JOURNEY SERIES
The Journey Series is a free 6-week virtual learning series on Addiction & Recovery beginning September 3rd through October 8th on Thursdays at 2:30 PM and 3:35 PM CT. Over the course of The Journey Series, you will hear from various experts in the field. Scroll down for more information, to register, and watch recordings of sessions.
The virtual learning series, historically known as The Journey Day, has been hosted in Jefferson County by the Recovery Ministries of the Episcopal Diocese of Alabama. Recognizing the significant impact the opioid epidemic had on Walker County, the Recovery Ministries graciously partnered with the Walker Co. Health Action Partnership to bring an invaluable learning opportunity to Walker County. Then the Covid-19 pandemic required us to adapt our plans, resulting in a stellar 6-week virtual learning series available to an even bigger audience - The Journey Series. We hope you'll join us in this learning journey!
