I panicked JR never complained and never got sick. “Deep Vein Thrombosis,” proclaimed the doctor. A piece of the blood clot broke off and had entered his lungs. This could not have come at a worse time. What were we going to do? I remember referring St. Christopher Truckers Relief Fund to other truckers in need never imagining that one day I might need their help. I made the call and St Christopher stepped up when we needed it the most. I am happy to say that JR has made a full recovery. As a trucker you never know when or if that dreaded call will come but knowing the SCF is on your side and has your back makes all the difference. Thank you St. Christopher Truckers Relief Fund for holding out a helping hand to the men and women who keep this country running. - Linda A. "When I fell and broke my collarbone, St. Christopher Truckers Relief Fund came through for me quicker and more efficiently than any other organization I'd reached out to. There hasn't been one other source for relief that has done exactly what I needed, exactly when I needed it. The St. Christopher Truckers Relief Fund has helped me keep my personal vehicle legal and my home secure, removing some of the bigger worries while I wait to be released back into a truck. I thank them for that." - Vincent J "John hadn’t been feeling well for a week or so, but he continued to work. He was a heavy haul driver, hauling steel. John suffered multiple heart attacks the week he was OTR. His driving career may be over. We reached out to St Christopher Fund, and in the blink of an eye we received help with rent and utilities. We have always donated, never knowing that someday we would actually need their help. Thank you for being there for the truck drivers. You are truly a blessing."  "My family and I can't thank you enough. The help from the Truckers Relief Fund is giving us 2 more months with a roof over our heads." - Wesley

December Webinars: Medical Marijuana; and Methamphetamine Addiction

November 26, 2019 NAADAC Free Webinars in December What Addiction Professionals Should Know About Medical Marijuana Wednesday, December 4, 2019 @ 3-5:00pm ET (2 CT/1 MT/12 PT) Description: Medical marijuana is now broadly or partially legalized in 28 states, though it remains illegal under federal law. Variation in laws can create confusion for mental health professionals, raising a number of questions for mental health professionals in both clinical and forensic settings. This confusion has led to many questions by practitioners, such as: What does the law say about medical marijuana in my state? How do I know whether my client is using medical marijuana therapeutically vs. abusing it? What are the risks, side effects, and potential drawbacks of medical marijuana? If my client uses medical marijuana, can employers discriminate against him or her? What do I do if a client is referred to me for substance use disorder treatment but is legally taking prescribed marijuana? This webinar seeks to answer these questions and more. Presenter: Aaron Norton, LMHC, LMFT, MCAP, CRC, ICADC, SAP Aaron Norton, LMHC, LMFT, MCAP, CRC, ICADC, SAP, serves as Executive Director of the National Board of Forensic Evaluators, Adjunct Instructor at the University of South Florida, Southern Regional Director for the American Mental Health Counselors Association, and President-Elect and Chair of Education for the Florida Mental Health Counselors Association. An experienced clinician, presenter, and clinical supervisor, he was awarded Mental Health Counselor of the Year by the American Mental Health Counselors Association and Counselor Educator of the Year by the Florida Mental Health Counselors Association in 2016 and has been published in several journals and magazines in the addictions and counseling professions.  Price: Education is FREE to all professionals Continuing Education Hours: Earn a certificate of completion for 2 CEs by passing an online CE quiz upon completion of the webinar.

Successful Treatment of Methamphetamine Addiction Wednesday, December 18, 2019 @ 3-4:30pm ET (2 CT/1 MT/12 PT) Did you attend the NAADAC 2019 Annual Conference and miss Cardwell “C.C.” Nuckols's presentation on Methamphetamine? As promised, we are providing a webinar version of the presentation for FREE for those who missed it in Orlando! Upon successful completion of your quiz, please email your Annual Conference Registration receipt to ce@naadac.org and we will make sure you receive your CEs for free! Register now to join the live webinar and an opportunity for a live Q&A with Nuckols. Description: Methamphetamine is a drug of rapid addiction and destruction. This webinar will focus on the impact of methamphetamine and how this powerful drug changes the brain of the user - a process called addiction. Early alcohol and/or drug use combined with non-enriched home and/or community environments can delay the development of the prefrontal cortex. Therefore, many individuals with addiction entering treatment are not candidates for rehabilitation but in need of a habilitative approach to care. Based on cognitive, emotional and attachment needs, practical strategies to challenge prefrontal growth (neurogenesis) will also be reviewed. Lastly, treating methamphetamine is in many ways different than treating alcoholism. This webinar will give participants a clear picture of the process of recovery. Timelines and stages of recovery will be explored noting the pitfalls that must be overcome along the way. Presenter: Cardwell “C.C.” Nuckols, PhD Cardwell “C.C.” Nuckols, PhD, has served the behavioral medicine field for over 40 years and for the last 25 years is considered one of the leading experts in the world on addiction and recovery. He is widely published, having authored more than 65 journal articles, 30 books and workbooks, 50 DVDs, CDs and videos, and 25 audiotape series. His latest book is entitled Finding Freedom Through Illumination: Realizing Christ Consciousness. His previous publication is a best seller entitled The EgoLess SELF: Achieving Peace and Tranquility Beyond All Understanding. Nuckols’ first book Cocaine: Dependency to Recovery is also a trade bestseller. Nuckols’ background includes advanced work in such areas as medical research, pharmacology, neurobiology, and psychology.
