Follow on Google News | Trauma Interventionist Workshop Helps Volunteers Help Kids With the Truth About DrugsBy: Bridge Publications Inc. A crime occurs every 90 minutes in East L.A. And there is an intimate connection between drug abuse and crime. Anyone working to reduce crime and violence knows it is a very tough job. But these interventionists are up to the challenge. The group works with at-risk teenagers, young adults and their families to help youth choose honest and productive lifestyles. The leader of the Trauma Prevention Initiative, Michael Villalobos, has worked extensively with families broken by violence and is well acquainted with the relationship between drug abuse and crime. Villalobos and his team set a target to educate children in East L.A. about the harmful effects of drugs. But they were missing the tools to do so. Learning about their interest in educating youth on this subject, volunteers from Bridge Publications met with Villalobos to present him tools for this vital work. Bridge Publications (https://www.bridgepub.com/ In his research, which he described in the book Clear Body, Clear Mind, Mr. Hubbard established "a link between drugs and increasing difficulties with crime, failing productivity and the modern breakdown of social and industrial culture." Bridge organized and helped deliver training on the Truth About Drugs program with the local chapter of Foundation for a Drug-Free World to Villalobos' core team. "The training was excellent and really informative," Armed with this knowledge and their Truth About Drugs educator kits, Trauma Prevention Initiative members are eager to impart this factual information about drugs to youth throughout East Los Angeles. To join Bridge Publications on future outreach events to benefit the community, contact Lucia Winther at (323) 888-6200 or lwinther@bridgepub.com End
