Brenda joined Rosecrance Jackson in April 2020 as VP of Clinical Services. Prior to that she helped establish several programs including Hazelden's Women's Recovery Center in MN.

Addiction is addiction. The pain, hopelessness, despair that people have with alcohol and drugs can also be a part of the experience for many with sex, food, money, gambling, etc. The "secret addictions" have triple the stigma and shame in our society. As people and their families suffer in silence those who have found freedom rarely come forward because of the shame. This training will focus on what are the secret addictions and how they interact with substance use disorders and other mental health issues. We will also identify how they impact women and men differently and most importantly the path to recovery.
