February 6, 2012  Nick is teaching a four week online course for Brown University, "Teaching Self-Advocacy".  It's designed to help counselors, social workers, and addiction professionals equip their clients for lifelong success. "Teaching Self-Advocacy" offers suggestions for helping clients develop, rather than abandon, their own decision making process and promotes their ability to advocate for themselves. This is much more supportive of long-term recovery than blind obedience to someone else's direction.
