Drug and Violence Prevention Community Awareness Seminars

FreeWay offers 2-hour Community Awareness Seminars for public audiences and secular organizations, such as parent-teacher associations and local service clubs. These practical, hands-on workshops will introduce adults to the eight basic FreeWay life skills and explain the concept of the prevention of drug use and violence through life skills training.

Suggested topics for the Community Awareness Seminars include:

An Overview of Drug and Violence Problems in America
Intervention: Signs and Symptoms of Drug Use and Abuse
Choices and Consequences: Decision-making and Problem-solving
Communication: The Key to Non-violent Conflict Resolution
Helping Dysfunctional Families to Function
Stress Management: Making Wise Use of Leisure Time

Workshop facilitators assigned will be trained FreeWay Prevention Specialists with many years’ experience teaching in public school classrooms, as well as in leading seminars and workshops for parents and other adults. If desired, facilitators will conduct an open-ended question and answer session on the chosen topic under discussion following their formal presentation.

The costs of the seminars include:

$200 honorarium ($100 per hour) for the facilitator
Round-trip travel expenses from St. Louis, including mileage (or airfare), meals, and over-night accommodations, if necessary
Hand-out materials at $5 per participant
