HPDICE offers presentations by our Speakers

She Loves Me, She Loves Me Not

We are happy to talk to you about your need for speakers. Whether students or parent groups. We have the personal experience and can adjust for any size of audience from small group meetings to school classes to school assemblies. Audiences have included churches and other interested community members. Presentations are flexible and can be done in 15 to 80 minutes depending on your audience needs. Time for questions and answers can also be included.

By the end of the presentation, your audience will have learned 10 important things:

1. How addiction is a family disease, not just impacting the person with the Substance Use Disorder (Addiction)
2. The common link between prescription pain medications and heroin. How substance use disorder to opiates typically begins
3. Recent statistics on opiates (There are more deaths due to prescription pain medications than heroin)
4. What Trauma is
5. The link between addiction, Trauma and Genetics
6. What to do with prescription pain medications when done taking or expired, and how to do so safely
7. What hopelessness feels and looks like for a person with a substance use disorder (addiction)
8. Common signs of addiction – physical, behaviors
9. What recovery is – coping skills, resiliency and a support system
10. Why we all need to do our share to break the stigma of addiction and how to help
11. Healthy and Unhealthy risk taking
