My experiences will help you educate your students about the dangers they face from one of the most common, seemingly innocent, problems on campus.

Headlines from across the country reveal that while the drinking age is 21 years old, students begin much earlier. According to the American Psychiatric Association: Fifty percent of all college students drink alcohol and 25% binge drink.

According to the University of North Carolina Bowles Center for Alcohol Studies the effects of binge drinking can stay with students for the rest of their lives.  

And we all know it's not as simple as getting drunk. Alcoholism and binge drinking have a social impact on students far beyond the inevitable hangover. The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse’s Task Force on College Drinking says: More than 97,000 students between the ages of 18 and 24 are victims of alcohol-related sexual assault or date rape each year. And hundreds of thousands of students are injured or assaulted because of alcohol.

My talks:

  • Alcohol: The Friend that Lets You Down [View 9 minutes of a recent talk]

  • Drugs Prescribed and Self-Prescribed: How to Stay OUT of the "Medicine" Cabinet and IN Your Own Life

I will help students overcome the challenges that face them as they seek ways to de-stress, have fun, and get the most out of their education.
