Myths Around the World ©
Myths Around the World is a fun, interactive game that follows the history of drugs geographically.
It is a logical, age appropriate, humorous, multi-sensory learning approach to teach 4th-6th graders
about drugs. This original game was created by Kelly Townsend and is only available through Miles To
Go. In 2017, this game will be available for teachers to present in the classroom. 3-6 hours. (A detailed
Myths description is available at the end of this section.)
New: Not All Kids Do Drugs for Teens
My Life On The Other Side of The User—Kelly’s Introduction Lecture
My Life is Kelly’s alternative to Jonathan’s Introduction lecture. This is a standalone lecture and is not part of any of the
series programs. This inspirational presentation is based on Kelly’s experience as the person on the other side of the
drug/alcohol user. In her journey through family addiction, alcohol and drug abuse by friends and roommates, and a
career in television and stand-up comedy, Kelly has developed a deep insight into the lives of people in trouble with
drugs and alcohol. This presentation teaches students the basics of how to identify characteristic behaviors inherent to
the user, how to help a friend, how to protect themselves, and how to move forward through tragedy.
Audience: It is open to co-ed groups, but is highly recommended for high school girls. Ideal for mature 8th graders
through 12th grade.
Scheduling: Call for available daytime dates.
Time: Plan 60-75 minutes including Q&A.
The Mother’s Checklist of Drug Prevention: All The Little Things We Say and Do.
This parent presentation is based on our book of the same title. The Mother’s Checklist provides a detailed guide parents
can use to forge and break patterns of positive and negative language and behavior that will help them raise happy, self-
confident children who can grow into functional, accomplished, drug-free young adults.
Everything I Ever Learned About Parenting I Learned At
Disneyland
This workbook-style presentation is a hands-on application and discussion based on the Lessons Learned in Part 4 from
The Mother’s Checklist of Drug Prevention. To open, Kelly will describe how as a drug prevention specialist she became
obsessed with the psychology of organizing families on her many visits to Disneyland. This presentation describes how
the implementation of student, parent and family organizational skills can reduce stress, depression and self-medicating
while it shows attendees how to transition from theory to implementation the minute they leave the presentation.
* Kelly and Jonathan will bring books for sale at all parent presentations and pre-sale orders can be set up
in advance
