The Straight Dope for Parents

Monday, September 27, 7:30 pm
Martin Meyer Sanctuary

Joseph A. Califano, Jr.


Nearly every child in America will be offered cigarettes, alcohol, prescription and illegal drugs before graduating high school—many in middle school. Based on nearly two decades of CASA research, Mr. Califano will present essential tools for parents in preparing your child for the crucial decision-making moments they will face.

Joseph A. Califano, Jr., is the founder and chair of CASA, an independent non-profit think/action tank that evaluates prevention and treatment programs involving all substances (alcohol, illegal, prescription and performance-enhancing drugs, nicotine.) Mr. Califano, as former U.S. Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare, mounted major health promotion and disease prevention programs including childhood immunization, a national anti-smoking campaign, and an alcoholism initiative among others.

The first 400 people registered will receive a complimentary copy of Mr. Califano’s latest book, How to Raise a Drug-Free Kid; The Straight Dope for Parents. One book per family please.
