ONLINE WORKSHOP

In response to the restrictions required during the COVID-19 pandemic, Bethesda Workshops has moved to a fully online program for our individual intensives: Healing for Men, Healing for Women, and Healing for Partners. ALL OUR WORKSHOPS WILL REMAIN ONLINE FOR THE REST OF 2020. This modified format of our in-person workshops allows you to obtain the assistance you need from the safety of your home.

Description

This modified version of our in-person workshop maintains our highly effective model: teaching segments about all the aspects related to sex addiction as either an addict or a partner, individual assignments, and discussion in small groups. It is an educational and supportive format focused on Sex Addiction and Recovery 101 that continues to incorporate our grace-based Christian emphasis. The online program is not psychotherapy or a substitute for mental health treatment. It still will get you significantly down the road in understanding sex addiction as an addict or a partner and applying successful tools for change.

The online format is from 9 am-5 pm Central time during scheduled Wednesdays through Saturdays. (See each workshop section for the specific dates.)

COST: The fee for the psychoeducational/supportive online workshop is $1,800. A $600 non-refundable deposit is required for registration.

Healing for Partners workshops are held simultaneously with Healing for Women workshops. All participants meet jointly for devotionals and some core teaching, but the majority of a workshop experience is segregated into the two groups. All small group work is separate.
