Rite of Passage: Risky Business
We have partnered with the Charleston City Police Department, Attorney Craig Jones and Thomas Gibbs from Option 4 for this presentation. It is a humorous, honest, factual presentation for college and high school students discussing the subtle effects and consequences of substance use and abuse. Symptoms of attention deficit, anxiety, depression and memory are discussed. Little known occupational and legal consequences are also discussed.

Addictive Behaviors: Para-Addiction Recovery as an Intervention
This presentation primarily targets family members, friends or partners of someone who has addictive behaviors. For decades, professionals have tried to use an intervention as a means for forcing a loved one into treatment. While this may get them in the door, the only successful intervention is co-recovery. Intervention is a process, not an event. We will discuss:

• The Cycle of Addiction
• Phases of Recovery
• Process of Intervention
• Process of Co-Recovery

The Behavioral Makeover: Mood, Emotion and Impulse
This presentation is useful for those with chaotic characteristics as well as those affected by them. We will discuss:

• Importance of Self-Management
• Challenge of living “Ordinary”
