Service Learning.

I am currently studying Social work at UVU. For my Intro to SW class I am required to complete 20 service learning hours. I chose to volunteer at Cirque Lodge Rehabilitation. My First day of volunteering was today... I LOVED IT! I sat in on The disease of addiction presentation by Dr. Kevin McCaully today, he is brilliant. The neurological parts of the brain that control addiction and how it works is so intersting. I love the people at the lodge, they are so kind. I am so grateful for the opportunity to attend theses meetings and be around people who are in the process of healing and finding themselves. I will keep you filled on the amazing experiences I am having through this adventure! I have learned so much about the people around me just from the 4 hours I was there today. I understand people with addiction better and hope to continue step by step to understand further, because it is amazing. 

Love, D
