High in Plain Sight: Current Alcohol, Drug, and Concealment Trends and Identifiers (Officer Jermaine Galloway)
This workshop is for educators, prevention providers, coalition members, law enforcement, probation officers, school administration, treatment, counselors, and parents. This training can be between 2 hours and 8 hours, depending on overall topics covered. This workshop covers alcohol and drug clothing, alcoholic energy drinks, alcopops, alcohol and drug concealment methods and containers, drug paraphernalia, drug related music and groups, logos, stickers, new technology, youth party tendencies, party games, non-traditional alcoholic beverages, social networking sites, synthetic drugs, OTC drugs, inhalants, concentrates, E-cigarettes, and popular party drugs. This session can also cover common stash compartments that can be used to hide weapons inside everyday clothing containers and other items, along with the relationship between alcohol, drug and violence tendencies. This session is unique, in that it provides over 120 visual aids for attendees to hold and become familiar with. In today's culture everything is person-specific and has different meanings to different individuals. Meanwhile, certain items have gained popularity in the alcohol and drug scene - which changes every day. Officer Galloway tailors this session to each community that he teaches in, and constantly updates this training to keep up with the current trends. Once in your community, Officer Galloway conducts a community scan spending time walking through many of your local malls, convenience stores and retail stores, identifying popular culture alcohol and other items that promote drug abuse. This allows the community to know what is going on nationally and locally in their own retail stores. For each person to help prevent youth and adult substance abuse, you MUST know what is going on in your community.
Trauma (John Frederikson, Ed.D.)
Trauma is a current, high-impact buz word. At the end of the training, you will be able to answer these questions. What is childhood trauma? What are the experiences that are appropriately labeled traumatic? How do traumatic events alter the brain? What are the behavioral implications that come with traumatic experiences? How do these events alter the normally established social contract or paradigm? How does this relate to juvenile delinquency, social development and long-term criminality? In terms of treatment or placement of these youth and adults, are there any principles that can give us guidance? Are there successful organizational models which support more successful treatment options for these youth and adults?
Lastly, labeling this work as challenging or difficult, especially long term, is an understatement. What are the things you and your organization can do to protect you from being adversely affected by this work?
