90% of people who become addicts begin using when they are teenagers.
1 in 4 graduating teens will become addicted to a substance in their lifetime.
Bob talks about the “real” world of substance abuse and the many misconceptions. He engages students with topics such as their perceptions about drugs and alcohol in their school and community, what they feel are the attitudes of their parents and the school, and how they feel about the substance abuse education they are currently receiving.
“When the Party is Over” was created to confront the epidemic of drug and alcohol abuse among college students. In this powerful lecture, Bob Stutman explains what students are up against and how to empower and protect students and campuses.
This interactive session provides valuable information in a factual and compelling manner so that those who attend walk away saying, “We have to deal with this issue now.” Bob talks in practical terms about the problems of sharing drugs among friends, buying drugs on the street, and the consequences of misidentification. He educates students, faculty, and the community about the dangers of substance abuse and leave them with a plan to implement life-saving measures on campus.
“It’s Like Being Held in my Mother’s Arms.”
The above is a direct quote from a high school senior who had been accepted to Princeton University and was addicted to OxyContin. We can now chemically replicate one of life’s most secure feelings with a drug. Bob Stutman addresses the abundance of misinformation about drugs, what drugs are available at schools, where they come from, and how your students (and staff) obtain them.
The Stutman Group breaks down the barrier to honest communication about drugs and alcohol. They address the true situation colleges face. First, that law enforcement will never make drugs completely unavailable in the U. S. Second, that most adults know almost nothing about the world of kids and drugs. (How many adults know what Special K and Roofies are?) And third, that drugs will go on destroying our young people if we continue to fail to deal with abuse and make substantial change. Those that hear this session walk away with the tools to deal with this issue now.
