"On behalf of the eighth grade students and all of us at GA, thank you once again for a terrific week  with the class of 2013.  The feedback from students, parents and faculty has been uniformly glowing, as you might well imagine.  We're delighted to be a regular part of your itinerary and look forward to working with you in the years to come."

Richard House - Middle School Head, Germantown Academy

Brenda has mastered the art of weaving her personal story of addiction and recovery into the discussion that doesn’t glamorize drugs or eclipse the more important theme of the program; inviting students to reflect on their own attitudes and beliefs towards substances in a meaningful way. When students reach their own conclusions, real learning has begun…Brenda typically spends a week in a community working intensively with a particular grade. Recognizing that underage drinking and other drug use are community issues, she also provides workshops for parents, faculty and other concerned groups.
