This workshop is for educators, prevention providers, coalition members, law enforcement, probation officers, school administration, treatment, counselors, and parents. This session is unique, in that it provides over 120 visual aids for attendees to hold and become familiar with. In today's culture everything is person-specific and has different meanings to different individuals. For each person to help prevent youth and adult substance abuse, you MUST know what is going on in your community. These new trends are very popular and it is important for all who are involved in prevention, education, treatment or enforcement to understand these sweeping changes in the drug culture. You can contact Cottonwood Police Chief Terry Cochran at either 962-3231 or cottonwoodpd.Idaho@gmail.com for more information. Galloway will also be doing a presentation earlier in the day at Prairie Jr./Sr. High School for the students. Principal Carrie Nygaard has been to one of Galloway’s presentations when she was at Kamiah and highly recommends him. |
