DEFY Conference for Parents & Youth - September 22nd

The City of Longview CDFY (Coalition for Drug-Free Youth) invite you to join us for the 3rd Annual DEFY Conference on Tuesday, September 22nd, from 5:30-8pm at Maude Cobb Convention Center (dinner provided). 
This FREE event is open to all parents/guardians and youth in grades 6-12th, as well as educators, social service professionals, and any community members interested in learning how to prevent drug and alcohol use in youth. The City of Longview's Coalition for Drug-Free Youth (CDFY) hosts this event.
The night will begin with speaker Dr. Matt Bellace (https://drivetosavelives.com/our-speakers/matt-bellace/) blending the worlds of stand-up comedy and clinical neuropsychology together for a unique and unforgettable keynote.
The popular hands-on mock bedroom experience, put on by the Longview Police Department, is back to give adults an interactive look at how teens might be hiding substances in plain sight.
Youth will learn coping skills and participate in a youth-only Q&A with the LPD, and all participants will receive dinner and a doorprize ticket for a chance to win Airpods or a $250 gift card!
Please register here!
Thanks, and see you on the 22nd!
