"I have worked as a teacher with Rhana consulting and educating my students for five years. She is an exceptionally knowledgeable drug education teacher and a pleasure to work with. The relationships she forms with adults and students are her biggest strength. She is extremely personable and passionate about the subject she teaches. My students get excited for when she visits because they love learning from her. Additionally, she creates excellent, relatable, and current material both for her own direct instruction and for teaching teachers how to deliver the lessons. I think every student and institution benefits from Rhana's gift to drug education. "

"Rhana is brilliant! Her approach to drug and alcohol education is relatable, engaging and critical for our teens who need real information to stay safe(r). Rhana is in the know in every way – she helps kids “know drugs,” she helps educators stay up to date on news, research, information, and a wide variety of perspectives on drugs and alcohol. Her trainings and curriculum are inclusive, interactive and cutting edge. Every time I work with Rhana I learn something new. Rhana is a trailblazer and is changing the landscape of drug and alcohol education for our youth putting safety first."

“Rhana’s presentations have educated students about drugs without shaming them for using them, allowing them to make their own decision using the knowledge that they have gained.”

”I wish more programs were taught like this. With this way of learning, students feel involved and respected for what they know”

"At first I was skeptical of receiving support since drugs were such a negative topic, especially with Adults. But Rhana was accepting of us and was non-judgemental. She taught me how drugs affect brain chemistry and who you are as a person, never once with the agenda of changing us. I started to understand myself more, I started to become more aware of my behavior, and through that, I decided to cut back, and eventually go completely sober. I realized I was happier sober."
-10th grade Student (OUSD)
“Understanding the science of addiction was eye-opening, and removed a lot of the stigma and shame associated with drug addiction/use. Rhana's weekly peer group discussions helped my son reconnect with his peers, and rebuilt his self-worth by opening his eyes to the power he has over his choices and future. A traditional punishment based program does not provide this growth. Our son has benefited and grown tremendously thru his interactions with Rhana, and sees a future of opportunity ahead where there was only shame and struggle before.”

Rhana's presentation on "How to talk to Your Kids about Drugs" was so helpful and insightful. She did an excellent job of pairing the hard-science with the soft skills necessary to equip us [parents]with the tools to start conversations about drugs with our kids."
