2) Community and Corporate Presentations
I offer presentations to a diversified audience encompassing the entire "village" that it takes to raise a successful child. Through telling the story of the loss of my only child, Ryan, I seek to inspire and motivate: earlier action towards recognition and prevention of childhood vulnerabilities, and earlier recognition and intervention as a youth begins to experiment. As we better RECOGNIZE THE EARLY and HIDDEN VULNERABILITIES and the EARLY SIGNS OF DRUG USE we are better equipped to prevent and find effective treatment for our precious sons and daughters.
Corporate presentations also include the ways in which Ryan's drug and alcohol recreational use/abuse/addiction impacted his employability (inspiring employees to engage in their employee assistance services earlier). As well, I share how his last ten months of horrific experiences impacted my own employment (inspiring employee/parents to act earlier to address their children's vulnerabilities/drug use). This presentation is well suited to corporate health and safety meetings/workshops, Chamber of Commerce and other business service group meetings...
