The Courage to Speak^® Foundation, Inc.: The Video

Film Description

Ginger Katz founded The Courage to Speak Foundation shortly after her son, Ian died of a drug overdose in 1996. The Foundation is dedicated to fulfilling her promise to Ian to do everything in her power to prevent what happened to him, from happening to others. The Courage to Speak Foundation fosters open communication about the prevention of alcohol and other drug use among young people. This video is a wonderful resource for teaching kids about the danger of drugs, because preventing tragedy in schools and communities are a priority shared by all. Since 1996, Ginger Katz has presented to over a half a million people in elementary, middle & high schools, colleges, parent groups as well as conferences and other forums. We have to find the COURAGE to SPEAK before it`s too late for so many other young people who are in danger of becoming addicted to drugs.

Preventing tragedy in our schools and communities is a priority shared by all. Seen live by thousands across the country, The Courage To Speak Presentation successfully facilitates open and honest discussion between adults and children about issues facing our youth today, inspires young people to refuse drugs and supports parents to help their children make healthy choices.

Now The Courage To Speak Prevention Presentation is available on a 22-minute CD, VHS or DVD.
