DESCRIPTION

Johnnetta McSwain-Clay, J. D. (2010). “Breaking the Cycle, Beating the Odds, 12 Step Self Awareness Model (SAM)” workshop presented at the Onslow County Department of Social Services Training Center Assault and Keynote at the Foster/Adoptive Parents Banquet. May 14, 2010. Jacksonville, North Carolina

Breaking the Cycle, Beating the Odds, 12 Step Self-Awareness Model

This workshop introduces attendees to a groundbreaking Self-Awareness Model (SAM) that teaches individuals to overcome and triumph over unforeseeable, extraordinary circumstances in life by breaking those negative cycles that cripple and impede one’s ability to beat the odds.  Those who attend this workshop will be empowered to release unconscious, hurtful scripts and connect to inner/personal energies that lead to recovery and truth in our conscious lives.  Attendees will learn self discovery, acceptance and release of past traumatic histories, and self-sustaining skills to grow and succeed.  In turn, this model and the subsequent skills gained can be taught to clients empowering them to break the vicious cycles that hold them hostage.

Attendees will leave this workshop with an enhanced ability to fight, to love, to forgive, to survive, to confront and face fears, and the power to change through a program based on the Self-Awareness Model (SAM) that was created from the personal life experiences of an African-American woman who overcame a vicious cycle of poverty, violence, sexual, mental and physical abuse and self destruction.
