Drug knowledge

Florida Atlantic University's counseling center on the Boca Raton campus is offering educational workshops that will help the campus community gain knowledge on drug and alcohol use.

It seems that every day we see another entertainer, athlete, or public official hit the news because of alcohol or drug related issues. Not only is this issue becoming a problem in the face of television, but it is becoming a bigger problem within our community.

On October 24th, the counseling center will offer the workshop," All arounders: drugs that spin you."

And then on November 28th, the center will offer, "Downers: drugs that pull you."

This should be a great opportunity to see what drugs can do to someone or their friends and family. For more information on the workshops, call 561-297-3540.

There are also support groups that can help those involved in drug and alcohol abuse.
