Called From Darkness
Called From Darkness is a 6-film series on addiction and recovery, produced by TouchPoint Productions and directed by Paul Steinbroner. After a brief introduction, each of these films was presented in a webinar format to members of GAHN, AHNCC, and other nurses and health care professionals. After the film viewing, there is an in-depth discussion of the film and the featured population. Paul is joined by a special guest facilitator, and representatives from the two other sponsoring organizations of the series. Helen Erickson is Executive Director of Global Academy of Holistic Nursing (GAHN) and co-author of the 1983 nursing theory book entitled Modeling and Role Modeling. Margaret Erickson is CEO of the American Holistic Nurse Credentialing Corporation (AHNCC).
The post-film discussion reveals more about each featured population, with insight from the special facilitator, as well as Paul, who was directly involved in the making of each film from start to finish. We're sure you will find the films informative and the conversation stimulating and through-provoking.
