Partnership for Drug-free Kids
 
 Dear Joseph,

Do you know the parable of the Good Samaritan? A man walking on a road is robbed and left for dead. It takes two men to pass him before a third man finally helps. He is a true neighbor – a Good Samaritan.

By donating just $15, you can help us get Good Samaritan laws passed in the remaining 15 states that don’t have them.

Today “Good Samaritan” laws offer legal protections to people that help those who are in danger. This is essential when someone passes out from drinking alcohol or overdoses on drugs. Given the opioid and heroin epidemic ravaging our communities, each state should have these laws in place.
 
Here are some additional ways you can help:
  • Encourage your teens to be Good Samaritans. Talk to them about what to do in an emergency situation – especially if it involves alcohol and drugs. Let them know they must call for help, even if they are scared of getting themselves or their friend in trouble.
  • Find out if your state has passed a Good Samaritan law. Only 35 states have laws that protect “Good Samaritans” from legal repercussions. We think this is unacceptable; every state should have legislation that encourages people to do the right thing and save a life without penalty! 
 

Thank you for your support! We will continue to keep you updated when the remaining states pass Good Samaritan laws.

Sincerely,

The Advocacy Team
Partnership for Drug-Free Kids

Good morning everyone as we get into April our sponsorship campaign for this year's Music Fest is in Full swing. We have a great lineup this year including The Katinas. Please consider forwarding the sponsor pack or printing it out to give to any potential sponsors for this year's Music Fest. We will be making calls beginning next week to our last year's sponsors. We need all the help we can get this year as we continue to grow this life-changing event. If you need physical sponsor packs we do have them available please let me know I can drop as many as you would like off at your location. There are also Bi-fold Music Fest cards now available and will be at the April 9th Coffee House to begin to spread the word. This may seem early to you with the event in September but this is the most important time to plug away for sponsorship to help pay for this event. Any questions please feel free to give me a call and thank you so much for your time in service to the Kingdom of God!! Also Music Fest website is prepared and ready. Sponsor forms are also available there. Facebook event page will be created soon!

Help Get the Comprehensive Addiction and Recovery Act Passed

The Comprehensive Addiction and Recovery Act (CARA) recently passed in the Senate with a vote of 94-1! While this is an important milestone, the bill moves to the House of Representatives and we need to keep the pressure on.

On the House side, Representatives Frank Guinta (R-NH), Ann Kuster (D-NH), Jim Sensenbrenner (R-WI) and Donald Norcross (D-NJ) began circulating a sign-on letter in support of CARA appropriations, encouraging their colleagues to sign on to provide resources for CARA in FY 2017.

Contact your Members of Congress and urge them to sign on to the CARA funding letter >

RECOVERY SPECIALIST TRAINING, LEVEL I
REGISTER NOW! Only 3 remaining training's in 2016
"The IRI Certified Recovery Specialist, Level 1 Training recently given in Long Beach, California was informative, insightful, creatively delivered, thought provoking and altogether enjoyable. As a viable component of addiction treatment the curriculum focuses on, where have come from historically, challenges our current knowledge and methodologies but, most importantly the direction we are going towards legitimacy and valorization. As a seasoned professional in the field of 15 years, we are long overdue for an ethical industry standard of this caliber to be set and available to those of us with vast experience or newly entering the field. Empowering us to approach this profession with confidence in a continuum of care that would be an asset to any client and or clinical team at any level of treatment. The balance of history, theory, cooperation, definition, practicality, legalities, ethical behaviors and self regulation within this curriculum was seamlessly melded together through our instructors vast experiential knowledge. After completing the Level 1 Training, it is my opinion that anyone interested in, working as, working with or simply understanding the valuable resource of a Recovery Specialist can benefit from the training offered by IRI. With that, a fond thank you for the time, energy and forward thinking required to compile such an educational body of work. Truly I am looking forward to enrolling in the Advanced Levels and Specialties education to come."     -Robert G Wells 
"I loved this course! I think the IRI Recovery Specialist training is an essential component to being a successful coach. The level of intelligence and knowledge brought to us by the experts is invaluable. By taking this course, you will step up and elevate your peers to peers counseling experience and transform into a full blown Certified Recovery Specialist!"                                                                                              - Emily Bush
""I was so impressed by the training and trainers. I absolutely recommend the International Recovery Institute to friends and colleagues interested in working in the recovery field"              -   Carlie Aliotta
"After taking the Recovery Specialist course I feel much stronger in this field. The course was instrumental in laying down the ground work and format to follow with many specific skills needed."                                                                -  Jules
"Amazing trainers, awesome Program! Definitely worth the time and monetary investment"   -  Gwen Stone Ortiz

"I loved the training- I learned so much- boundaries, ethics, harm reduction, and so much more"
"This training has not only reinforced what I already know as a working Recovery Specialist, it has given me new tools and confidence in my ability to implement them!"     -  Dufflyn Lammers  
“I attended the Recovery Specialist training in March 2016.  This training was incredible! And a lot more than I had hoped/anticipated it to be. As a licensed professional in this industry for over 12 years, I left the training with invaluable information learned.
The expertise and knowledge that these three professional women share in book and personal application is unmatched by any other I have experienced. The information is crucial for anyone working one on one with addiction/ mental health clients outside of a “typical “treatment setting. I left with 5 (full days) of intense lecture and experiential training. I have gained new tools and a skillset that is essential in working as Recovery Specialist. As a professional it is my opinion that no one should be working in this role without the formal training received in this course. It was one of the best professional investments I have made.”                                                                                                                                                      -  Jill Nugent CADCII, BRI-1, ICRC, CIP
