1992, Johnson Institute transferred distribution of its training media<br />

to Hazelden Information and Educational Services and refocused its<br />

attention on removing barriers to effective treatment.<br />

Today, Johnson Institute identifies, nurtures, and supports initiatives<br />

to reach individuals and families early in their difficulties with<br />

chemical dependency. From its beginnings with a Minnesota church<br />

study group, JI now comprises four centers dedicated to fresh<br />

policies and new awareness of addiction disease.<br />

The Center for Education and Advocacy supports such initiatives<br />

as Recovery Ambassadors, Faces and Voices of Recovery, Advancing<br />

Help and Hope Workshops, National Recovery Month and Sports<br />

Salute to Recovery.<br />

The Center for Resource Development is dedicated to changing<br />

America’s attitudes and opinions about addiction recovery. It finds<br />

links between JI’s mission and projects and the goals of funding<br />

institutions. This center also holds the highly successful America<br />

Honors Recovery Luncheon in September to recognize recovering<br />

citizens who have made major contributions to recovery efforts.<br />

The Center for Policy and Communication provides platforms for<br />

discussion and strategic planning. It brings together more than 80<br />

organizations for biannual National Forum on the latest in the<br />

recovery field and continues JI’s publishing tradition of excellence,<br />

including the latest Speaking Out for Addiction Recovery, by Johnny<br />

Allem, president of the Johnson Institute.<br />

The Rush Center for Congregational Action recognizes the<br />

special opportunity that bringing science and faith perspectives<br />

together can have in benefiting congregations of all faith traditions.<br />

Its highly successful Faith Partners program uses a team approach to<br />

allow recovery to happen within congregations of all faiths. It also<br />

publishes a new quarterly publication, Faith Partners Journal.<br />

Johnson Institute’s approach has evolved over more than 40 years<br />

yet its commitment to advancing understanding of alcoholism and<br />

chemical dependency is unwavering.<br />
