Assignment 3.1: Action Plan Experiential Learning Opportunity

In this course, you will conduct an experiential learning opportunity observing a 12-step self- help meeting. These 12-step self-help meetings can include AA, NA, or CA, among others. This learning opportunity is integral to understanding addiction from the point of view of the patient and will give you a better idea of what it might be like living with an addiction. For this assignment you need to identify a 12-step self-help meeting in-person or online that you will attend for your experiential learning opportunity. It is recommended that you conduct your experiential learning opportunity in Module 4 and complete your reflection discussion board in Module 5.
