Meet Dr. P

Meet Dr. P

Hi! I am Dr. Donna Poppendieck, more commonly known in the college classroom as Dr. P. I have been involved in the addiction treatment and prevention community for the past 20 years and have been teaching mental health in universities for about 15 years. Having grown up in a family with drug abuse, and having successfully healed myself from autoimmune disease, I am always interested in exploring legitimate, evidence-based pathways to full and complete health and recovery - in thoughts, feelings, body, and spirit - for any and all interested people. This course reviews many of the basic tenets of ethical standards of behavior for mental health professionals. I hope you enjoy the course!
