Miles To Go

After very different careers in business and entertainment, we were sent in this direction at the recommendation of friends. We are married, proud parents, and the only two teachers in our program.

In our first year, we began publishing the research we used in our programs in a quarterly written newsletter called The Drug Fact Update, which became a popular teaching tool for instructors in the classroom. As technology changed through the years, this evolved into weekly news reports posted on Twitter, Facebook, podcasts, and periodic email newsletters. These Drug Fact Updates and News For Your Classroom were used by teachers, parents, students, and scientists all over the world. Currently, we still offer the Live Drug Fact Update as a Zoom lecture repeated throughout the year. Send us an email to receive an invite for upcoming presentations.

We strive to simplify a complex subject into understandable terms and make that knowledge applicable in everyday life. Our goal is to integrate the science of drugs into biology, psychology, pop culture, life-long learning and our emotional and social lives. We want to encourage healthy and informed choices for families.

We operate from the core belief that proactive language and positive self-talk have the power to change lives. We are committed to the idea that drug education is not just about drugs, but that it's also about communication, life skills, and relationships. We see drugs not as the problem, but as a symptom of larger problems that are not being dealt with in an effective way.

We believe we have miles to go before we are done learning how drugs can help and hurt our children, our selves, our elders and our friends. We use all media resources to examine drug addiction and substance abuse. Drug prevention is not a black and white subject - it is a gray area of constantly changing information where we learn from each other and apply that knowledge in our lives.

As a socially responsible for-profit mom and pop company, we have always believed that it is important to give back by making as much drug prevention information available for free to all student, teachers, parents and professionals. After 30 years, we still donate many lectures and consulting to families who need advice. We have also helped many scouting groups and student interns by offering programs to them when requested.
