Hidden In Plain Sight

6 Weeks

Location: Faith Church East (5526 SR 26 East, Lafayette)

Class time: 6:30-8:00 pm (dates listed below)

Course description: If you are a parent and/or work with populations of youth, middle school, high school, college, community service, counseling, or drug/alcohol addiction, this training will help you spot and understand the meaning of codes, symbols, and clues surrounding drug usage. There is a language of drug use hidden in plain sight, that we can decode, to help us be much more effective in identifying and serving people who are enslaved to drugs/alcohol. If you are in education, law enforcement, medicine, counseling, youth or college ministry, or a parent, this training will help you know what is going on in our community and understand party trends, pop culture, music, concealment methods, stash compartments, and much more! In addition, you will learn about the evolution of drugs and trends in drug abuse.
