Title: A Few Skills Needed to Work with Adolescents; 1992
Description: The presentation by Charles F. Zimmer on January 2, 1992, at the SPHEX Club, titled "A Few Skills Needed to Work with Adolescents," covers the challenges and complexities of dealing with adolescents, particularly in the context of a drug crisis at Virginia Episcopal School (VES). Zimmer details a specific incident involving cocaine and alcohol, explaining the sequence of events, the school's response, interactions with law enforcement, and the aftermath. He uses this case to underscore the broader issue of drug use among youth, incorporating statistics and historical context to highlight the prevalence and dangers of substance abuse. Zimmer advocates for education, discipline, patience, and a strong community approach to address these issues, concluding humorously on the skills needed to work effectively with adolescents.
