About Us
Please see our “About the
Program” page for information about the “Teens Using Drugs” program.
The "Teens Using Drugs: What To Know and What To Do" program was
developed by Ronald E. Harrison
in 1999, and was presented by Ron until Ron’s death in April 2011. Dawn Farm is
continuing this program in the 2011 – 2012 school year and hopefully beyond.
The program is co-sponsored by Dawn Farm,
the Livingston
and Washtenaw Regional Coordinated School Health Program Council,
and Saint Joseph Mercy Health System Greenbrook
Recovery Center.
A
Thank-you to Our Supporters:
We'd like to thank ALL the people who make this
program possible! Ron Harrison
developed this program and contributed his time and expertise to present this
workshop series as a community service from the program inception in 1999 until
June 2011. Ron was an extraordinarily generous, dedicated, talented and
wonderful person and is deeply
missed. Nancy Quay, LMSW provided expert back-up on the evenings Ron
was unavailable to present, sometimes on short notice. Dawn Farm has stepped up to enable this program
to continue, with Dawn Farm and Growth Works staff
providing their expertise for the 2011 – 2012 presentations. Matt Statman, LLMSW, CADC; Dawn Farm
therapist and Education Series coordinator presented the series in June 2011
will be one of the presenters for the 2011 – 2012 series programs. Dawn Farm,
the Livingston
and Washtenaw Regional Coordinated School Health Program Advisory Council,
and Saint Joseph Mercy Health System Greenbrook
Recovery Center co-sponsor the program, and provide support and
assistance. Allegra
Print & Imaging of Saline, Michigan has for several years been
generous in helping us with our printing needs, including copying of handout
materials for program participants. Huron Valley Community Network (HVCN) provides web
hosting for our web site along with patient
technical support whenever we have needed help with this web site. Many
service providers have contributed printed materials. Our past volunteer Don
and long-term volunteer Rob have provided highly proficient audiovisual support,
and take care of everything that needs to be taken care of to ensure all goes
smoothly on the evenings of the presentations. To the numerous young people in
recovery who have shared their stories, their experience, their strength and
their hope with our part two audiences – hope is a wonderful gift, thank you
for sharing yours! Thank you to the hundreds of parents, family members, teens,
professionals, and people in our community who attended past programs and
provided feedback that has helped this program improve, evolve and grow in
being a useful resource for people in our community. Every contribution to this program is part of its success in
assisting people to learn how they can help substance-involved teens. We're
very grateful to all who have provided and are providing support!
