The Above the Influence (ATI) team will be traveling to CADCA’s annual Mid-Year Training Institute, in Anaheim, California, to lead two (2) half-day sessions designed to address coalition leaders’ biggest concerns and obstacles in effective youth prevention. The session titled “Empowering Teen Voices in Your Coalition to Advance Your Organizational Goals and Mission,” will take place at the Hyatt Regency Orange County in Anaheim, California.

During the training, attendees will learn how their coalition can become a partner of the ATI campaign – a national campaign that inspires teens to think critically about drug use and empowers them to stand up to negative pressures and influences. The Above the Influence team will share various techniques and ideas on reaching teens today, as well as interactive ATI activities developed to get teens thinking critically about substance use and ways to stay “above the influence.”

Above the Influence Training Sessions will take place during the following days:

• Wednesday, July 27 at 1:30 p.m.
• Thursday, July 28 at 1:30 p.m.
