CADCA is proud to be participating in the\u00a0International Congress on Addictions in Mexico City, Mexico.\u00a0CADCA is represented by me, its\u00a0Chairman and CEO, Gen.\u00a0Arthur Dean,\u00a0Vice-President of our\u00a0International Programs, Mr. Eric Siervo.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Yesterday, I presented on\u00a0“Successful Practices in Prevention.”\u00a0The session had more than\u00a0200 attendees and they had great interest in CADCA\u2019s prevention work and strategies.<\/p>\n
It was part of the World Federation Against Drugs (WFAD)’s 17th congress on drug and alcohol addiction. Mr.\u00a0Siervo and I were also able to interact with event co-sponsors such as WFAD’s president Sven-OlovCarlsson and director Carmen Fernandez Caceres.<\/p>\n
Today, I gave a presentation\u00a0on “Youth and Addiction Prevention” and Mr. Siervo presented a lecture called\u00a0“Community Networks.”\u00a0These presentations have allowed\u00a0CADCA the opportunity to showcase its Coalitions Training Model for adults and youth as well as its international coalition building work that has touched 22 countries worldwide.\u00a0It is progress!<\/p>\n
The reception has just been\u00a0tremendous and shows the need for worldwide prevention strategies. There are attendees at the Congress from\u00a0Central and South America as well as\u00a0from all over the world.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Several senior officials from the Mexican government\u00a0gave presentations yesterday.<\/p>\n
Clearly, all of our friends who are here with us this week are concerned about preventing drug use before it starts and they understand the need to treat and keep people in recovery.<\/p>\n
I am so thrilled to have been able to participate and hope we can continue to raise awareness on our issues so more and more people can reside in safe, healthy and drug-free communities, the world-over.<\/p>\n
