Note: This Healthy Initiative Study uses the book titled Addiction and Grace by Gerald May, MD. These guides will be updated occasionally.
Please ask about hosting an informal Healthy Initiative Group Study. Note that “Addiction” in this study is not limited to narcotic types of addiction. It is a much broader concept that applies to everyone. Dr. May offers a definition of addiction in Lesson 5 (G.1)
The aim is to offer these group studies (study groups) to those needing motivation to take the next step in their pursuit of healthier bodies, minds and spirits – what we call “whole person care”. These study guides which are being developed and uploaded regularly can be used with or without the book by that title by Gerald G. May, MD. These study guides are offered free of charge by the generosity of our donors and funding from our Switch&Support Funding Plan. Please consider partnering with us by making a financial contribution on our Partners page to help provide these guides and group studies. Participants will not have to pay for the group meetings. Another way to help HIM financially is to go to www.switchandsupport.org to use the services offered (energy and wireless) to generate ongoing support. Select HIM as your preferred Cause. Thanks, Ron
