Center for Living Professional Speaker’s Bureau Services.

Prevent and treat adolescent substance abuse with education.
One of the best ways to help adolescents avoid substance use and abuse is through education. Targeted education on relevant topics can strengthen the known factors that protect adolescents from developing substance use problems. Education can also help identify when formal treatment is needed.

The Center for Living maintains a professional speaker’s bureau to educate teens, parents and other interested parties on adolescent substance use and related topics. Our professionals can deliver talks that are both enlightening and engaging to student bodies, parent or adult groups or a combination of the two.
