8th Annual Courage To Speak® Empowering Your to be Drug Free Family Night on March 20th, 2012 5:15pm at West Rocks Middle School in Norwalk
The Courage To Speak® Foundation Inc., is a nonprofit organization based in Norwalk, CT, whose mission is "to save lives by empowering youth to be drug free and encouraging parents to communicate effectively with their children about the dangers of drugs." Ginger and Larry Katz founded the organization in 1996, just months after her 20 year old son Ian James Eaccarino died of an accidental drug overdose. Ginger pledged that she would do all she could to help prevent such a tragedy from befalling another family. Since then, Ms. Katz has become a nationally renowned speaker and has given over 1000 drug prevention presentations to students, parents, educators, law enforcement and state/national conferences. Reaching hundreds of thousands of people nationwide, she shares the story of her son Ian's losing battle with drugs, helping parents and educators keep our children safe.
The Courage To Speak® Foundation has worked with experts in the prevention field to develop The Courage to Speak® Drug Prevention Curriculum for Elementary, Middle, and High Schools. The Curriculum - including teacher training and classroom activities - provides crucial, ongoing follow-up to The Courage to Speak® Foundation's live presentation and video. The Foundation also provides a program for parents called The Courage to Speak Foundation- Courageous Parenting 101® . (see press release)
