The Secret Language of Emotion | Ray Lozano | TEDxLaSierraUniversity

Is it possible to reconnect with that family member who has an addiction? Yes it is! You just need to understand the different language that they speak. Ray Lozano’s first-hand childhood experience with family members’ alcohol and drug dependence led to a curiosity about the consequences of drugs and alcohol and what life could look like without abusing these substances. This inspired a lifelong commitment to never use drugs or get drunk. Coming from a personal non-use background uniquely positions Ray in the field of drug and alcohol prevention.

Since 1986, Ray Lozano has actively studied the most effective methods of educating and encouraging young people promoting life choices that foster potential. This pursuit resulted in the development of a unique educational approach, which Ray has used to train tens of thousands of middle and high school students, teachers and caregivers of youth in every state across America and internationally. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
