Recently I flew to Lincoln, Nebraska to speak with addiction professionals from all over the state.  I also had the chance of meeting with parents at Lincoln North Star High School.  Parents were invited from all the area public schools.  We had a wonderful evening.  I guess I shouldn’t be surprised by now, but it never ceases to amaze me that the concerns of parents and the struggle to be an authentic teen is the same in Lincoln as in my hometown of Boston.  The landscape is different, Nebraska is beautiful, but the challenges of parenting and educating teens is the same.

Prior to my visit, there was a media blitz to promote my speaking engagements.  I was interviewed by Dale Johnson at radio station K124o for Lincoln Live!  You can listen to the interview here. I was also interviewed by Diana Waggoner of the KIM Foundation for her podcast Not Alone.  The first segment is here in the media bar below.  We talk about how parents can addiction-proof their children, what schools can do to promote effective drug education, and the struggles of teens and substance abuse.

If you’d like to stay connected to my thoughts and comments, please “like” my page on Facebook and follow me on Twitter.  You can do both in the media bar to the right.
