Kelly’s Lectures:

       Myths Around the World ©
  • Myths Around the World is a fun, interactive game that follows the history of drugs geographically. It is a logical, age appropriate,
    humorous, multi-sensory learning approach to teach 4th-6th graders about drugs. This original game was created by Kelly Townsend
    and is only available through Miles To Go. In 2012, this game will be available for teachers to present in the classroom. 3-6 hours.
    (Please email us for a detailed Myths description)

     
 The Mother’s Checklist of Drug Prevention: All The Little Things We Say and Do.
  • This parent presentation is based on our new book of the same title. The Mother’s Checklist provides a detailed guide parents can use
    to forge patterns of language and behavior that will help them raise happy, self-confident children who can grow into functional,
    accomplished, drug-free young adults.
  • Daytime presentations only: Morning coffee, lunch or pre-carpool meetings are encouraged. This parent presentation is included when
    you schedule the Myths Around the World program.
  • For schools unable to schedule Myths, this presentation is offered at our standard lecture rate, or at no charge with a minimum pre-
    purchase of 30 copies of The Mother’s Checklist of Drug Prevention. 1 hour. * see below

    
 My Life and Welcome to It—Kelly’s Introduction Lecture
  • My Life is Kelly’s alternative to Jonathan’s Introduction lecture. This inspirational presentation is based on Kelly’s experience as the
    person on the other side of the user. In her journey through family addiction, alcohol and drug abuse by friends and roommates, and a
    career in television and stand-up comedy, Kelly has been surrounded by people in trouble with drugs and alcohol. This presentation
    teaches students the basics of how to help a friend, protect themselves, and move forward through tragedy. 1 hour.

      
How To Create An Engaging Drug Prevention Program For Your College
  • This consultation and workshop will help your school conceive and present an appropriate presentation to convey the rules and
    expectations at your school. This can include our presentation A Fly on The School Wall, based on Kelly’s 16 years as Director of Drug
    Prevention and 30 years of business management. Outline and fees available upon request.

      
A Fly On The School Wall
  • If you were a fly on our classroom wall, you’d hear some strange, funny stuff! For 16 years, we’ve heard it all; now we’ll share it with
    you. Most of our administrators are highly functional when it comes to drug issues that concern their students, but many are caught
    flat-footed when it is their parents or faculties that have trouble. This presentation discusses how to be proactive instead of reactive,
    and includes important policies every member of the community should be able to understand and follow. We’ll also discuss
    guidelines for dialogues that will allow your school to outline and define its drug policies. You may think you’ve got this covered, but
    there may be a few wrinkles that have escaped your attention. An overview of our Classifications class will help participants
    understand how many drugs are actually abused on a regular basis. This presentation can be done by Jonathan or Kelly. 1 hour.

* Kelly and Jonathan will bring books for sale at all parent presentations and
pre-sale orders can be set up in advance
