From the Desk of Cathy Sperling - Chief Operating Officer

July 12, 2007 - I am writing this from the idealic village of gambier Ohio home of Kenyon college and the 2007 teen institute conference. I have spent 5 and a half very long and hot summer days with 140 teens and adults in workshops presentations and family groups. My responsibility here has been to work with new prevention professionals. We met 11 times in 4 days taking them throu their own family group experience as well as educating them on the research behind the how's and why's of prevention. Ilm tired and looking forward to home sleep and work tomorrow.
