in 2012 she moved up to a heavier weight class of 178 lbs. She was also a contestant on the popular TV show “American

When you are creating, let's say a delicious dish, it can start out a bit messy. The
ingredients you put in have to be just right and you must read the labels to make
sure you know what you are dealing with and what you are adding. With time, patience, effort and a little TLC you can all enjoy the sweet taste of victory and success.
This session will share some of the challenges and successes that Ms. Crews’ experienced while a youth in Baltimore. She believes that it is her responsibility to be a
positive role model to inner city youth and adults. It’s amazing to her to know that

WS22 – Addressing Alcohol and Substance Abuse Use: Effects on Families and
Supporting Substance Using Students within Community Schools
Families and youth that suffer with substance abuse are more at risk for domestic violence, mental
illness, and divorce, sexual and physical abuse than other families. For students, it can lead to depression,
anxiety, and suicidal thoughts. Unfortunately, for some students, they begin to dabble with household
products, prescription drugs, as well as other types of substances. How can you help? During this workshop session, participants will learn about the latest substances of abuse, signs, symptoms, interventions
and treatment measures. Participants will also learn how to create a supportive environment for addressing substance abuse disorders in the school setting; the elements of using the student assistance
program model in community schools; and the engagement strategies for substance
abuse counseling in the school setting.

WS24 – Trauma Informed Care for School Professionals
Research shows that 25% of American children will experience at least one traumatic event by the age
of 16. Trauma exposure can lead to posttraumatic stress reactions that interfere with learning and/or
behavior at school. School professionals can provide critical supports as a well as safety net for children
who have experienced trauma. During this workshop, participants will recognize and screen for trauma
exposure, posttraumatic stress reactions, and learn how to access and apply available trauma tools.
