Health Week

The theme “Breaking Chains” highlights the reality that addiction goes beyond drugs or alcohol. “When we hear the word ‘addictions’ we often think in terms of drugs or alcohol, but there are many other types of addiction that fall under a category of behavioural addictions,” said Pamela Townend, South Pacific Division health coordinator. “Examples of this are food, exercise, work and shopping, to name just a few.”

To support churches and individuals during Adventist Health Week, a suite of resources is available, including:

• Breaking Chains devotional series (for personal or group study)
• Social media posts (to raise awareness throughout the week)
• Church bulletin announcements (to keep members informed and engaged)
