Drug Prevention Power Hour: Empowering Leaders in Youth Drug Prevention
In this podcast we explore the world of youth drug prevention. We highlight the things that are working in substance use prevention and learn from one another in the field. This is NOT a show featuring only authors, speakers and founders of companies. We also interview people who are working with youth on a daily basis who can discuss what's currently happening in our schools and communities around the U.S. The Drug Prevention Power Hour is for... Prevention professionals, school counselors, principals, vice principals, social workers, school psychologists, coalitions, prevention specialists, school resource officers (SROs), juvenile justice professionals, parent teacher organization members (PTO), parent teacher association members (PTA), alcohol education (AODA), superintendents, greek life, college orientation, athletics, and human services. Our host is Jake White, the creator of Party.0 and Vive18. He's a youth prevention expert who started a peer-led youth movement where students host his signature "sober parties" for their peers - showing that you can fit in, make friends and have fun without using drugs and alcohol. His presentations, curriculum, programs and educational experiences are being used all over the country to help students make better decisions around substance use. His goal for every episode is to educate listeners on prevention, highlight new ideas and inspire us to keep saving lives through our efforts.
