Veteran Mental Health Counselor Ken Donaldson is mad as hell and there’s no other way to put it.
It’s not what he’s seen is his 20+ years of experience, as he’s seen it all: Bottom of the barrel depression, over the top addiction, mind-jarring panic and anxiety, heart-breaking divorce and psyche-shattering trauma.
No, what Ken’s mad about is the current lack of attention being paid to the following:
• The 50%+ divorce rate
• The fact that more than 1 out of every 3 women is abused by a partner at some point in her lifetime
• That 10% of the U.S. population is alcoholic and another 10% is drug-addicted
“We’re currently so caught up in the economic state of affairs that these fundamental issues of personal and family stability have drifted far to the bottom of the priority totem pole.”
But just getting mad doesn’t change anything, so Ken’s now taken matters into his own hands and is going into action to personally do something about all this. He’s teamed up with the Tampa Bay non-profit You&Me.We program (http://www.youandmewe.org/ ) of Family Resources to present a daylong workshop on Saturday, April 10th entitled Love Yourself Before You Love Again.
Ken’s identified 4 primary benefits that will be addressed in this workshop. Participants will discover how to:
• Develop powerful daily rituals to make you first in your own life
• Break destructive relationship patterns and learn the secrets of lasting relationships
• Define your relationship deal-makers and deal-breakers and create a relationship success plan
• Identify early warning signs of dysfunctional and abusive relationships
And the goals of this workshop? Donaldson states, “Like everything I else I do, to turn these statistics around. To do something to lower the divorce rate, to turn the domestic violence rate around and to stomp-out addictive behaviors…If I don’t take action; if WE don’t take action, who will?”
This daylong (9 a.m. to 5 p.m.) workshop is partially funded by a grant, so it’s very inexpensive: $27 for advanced registration or $37 at the door, which also includes a free lunch! However, since there are limited seats (approx. 50) everyone planning to attend is advised to sign-up early. Go to the You&Me.We website, www.youandmewe.org, or call 866-600-6064.
In addition to being a licensed mental health counselor and relationship coach, Ken is also the best-selling author of Marry YourSelf First!® Say “I Do” to a Life of Passion, Power, Purpose and Prosperity (www.MarryYourSelfFirstBook.com ). Ken’s primary mission is to help all people eliminate stress, maximize success and create extraordinary relationships at home, at work and in the community. Ken comes off the stage and into the hearts and minds of all participants who attend his presentations. Visit Ken’s website at www.KenDonaldson.com .
