COURSE OVERVIEW

COURSE DESCRIPTION

The course inetrvenes in the faulty thinking processes that allow minors in possession to possess and use illegal substances.

Most people don’t become fully cognizant untill age 25. This lack of self-awareness and proper thinking is a major contributor to minors in possession and their problems. Unawaful use of drugs and alcohol are just symptoms of deeper faulty thinking errors. The goal of the course is to help minors get though this stage in their life and become responsible adults. If we never change faulty thinking, we can never change faulty behavior.
