This workshop is based on the book Bridges Out of Poverty:  Strategies for Professionals and Communities, a collaboration between Ruby K. Payne, Phillip DeVol, and Terie Dreussi Smith. Phil’s experience includes developing school based, substance abuse prevention, intervention and student assistance programs, and Terie is an experienced educator and prevention coordinator.  This workshop is designed for audiences of employers, community organizations, law enforcement, counselors, health care and social service providers.
