A Message from INPM’s President

Dear Presenters and Delegates,
Welcome to our 4th Biennial International Meaning Conference.
I cannot think of a more timely and important conference theme than addiction, which affects every family. It takes a village to support a recovering addict or alcoholic. It takes concerted efforts from all segments of the society to create a drug-free community. This Conference represents INPM's contribution to such a worthy endeavor.
I have always believed that one needs two epiphanies to achieve recovery. The first "rock-bottom" epiphany awakens one to the bleak reality that death would be the inevitable outcome without intervention. The second "new-life" epiphany awakens one to the prospect of achieving a cherished dream and leading a fulfilling new life without relying on drugs. It is only through recovering a passion and purpose for living that one can overcome the "revolving door" syndrome.
A related tenet of meaning-centered and spiritually oriented intervention is the need for a double-vision. We need to keep one eye on the ball and another eye on the goal. If we only focus on getting control of the ball without having a clear sight on the goal, we can never score any success. Similarly, we need to keep one eye on the road and another eye on the destination. We would be driving in circles if we didn't know where we were going.
At this Meaning Conference, the accent is on the achieving "new-life" epiphany and seeing the big picture. You will learn both micro and macro skills to enhance the effectiveness of prevention, treatment and recovery.
We are delighted that the British Columbia Association for Play Therapy co-sponsors Dr. Garry Landreth's workshop. We want to extend a special welcome to all the play therapists, who came to hear Dr. Landreth. May you feel at home being part of the Meaning Conference! You are among friends.
Finally, I urge all of you to come out to the Membership Meeting and Membership Dinner on Friday evening, even if you are not a member yet. We need to work together to bring the “meaning advantage” to our families and communities, because life is indeed better with positive meaning and purpose.
I look forward to getting to know you during the conference.

Sincerely,
Paul T. P. Wong, Ph.D.
Conference Chair
President, International Network on Personal Meaning (INPM)
