Addiction University

"WOW! Until hearing Loree, I never realized how a student could seem totally fine on the outside but on the inside they're experiencing an addictive behavior. Loree has a message that both students and staff must hear and could help to save lives!"

-James Malinchak, "Two-Time College Speaker of the Year!" Co-Author, Chicken Soup for the College Soul

TODAY'S STUDENTS ARE AT RISK!

Many don’t know it or don’t recognize its symptoms. And even those who do are completely unaware of how to avoid it. The risk is addiction—to drugs, alcohol, gambling, eating disorders and other self-destructive behavior.

Some young people are more vulnerable to addiction than others, but all need to learn how to identify the tell-tale signs and how to address them head-on.

Looking the other way is no longer an option—there’s too much at stake for your student, your college and for you.

Campus health services are struggling to prevent drug abuse and university athletic departments are dealing with rampant alcohol abuse and gambling problems concealed by the locker room “code of silence.” These and other higher education leaders have called upon Loree Taylor Jordan, a nationally-recognized Inspirational speaker on women’s health issues, to bring her special brand of no-nonsense, straight-talking, inspiring presentations to their campuses.

"Addiction University" comes directly to your campus and is designed explicitly to educate students at colleges and universities about the dangers of addiction and to motivate them to embrace a healthy lifestyle.

"I attended the APCA Houston conference this fall and was lucky to see Loree speak. She is amazing. Her life story is incredible, and she deeply cares about warning and educating students about drug addiction and drug use. She is open and straight forward in taking about Meth, gambling, addiction and shares firsthand the effects that addiction has had on her family and loved ones' lives. She makes a frightening impact. I highly recommend her to come to speak at your school. "

10.8 million persons ages 12-20 reported drinking alcohol in the past month. Nearly 7.2 million were binge drinkers and 2.3 million were heavy drinkers. More than half (58%) of 12th graders report having been drunk at least once in their life. One fifth (20%) of 8th graders report having been drunk at least once in their life.

Of the 8 million people in the United States suffer from eating disorders, 3% of all young women and girls suffer from anorexia, 3-4% of all young women and girls suffer from bulimia, and 15% of young women have some kind of disordered eating patterns. Eating disorders have the highest mortality rate of any psychological disease.

Sports wagering, beginning in high school and increasing in college is done by 50% of student-athletes (Engwall, Hunter, & Steinberg, 2003). Lesieur (1991) reported 85% of college athletes as having participated in betting and 23% surveyed showed evidence of pathological gambling behavior.
