NJ Director of ICFDA Invited to President's Conference on School SafetyTuesday, October 10, 2006, President George Bush has called for a Conference on School Safety to be held in Washington, DC. Among those attending and contributing to this conference will be the New Jersey Director of the International Coalition for Drug Awareness, Lisa VanSyckel. Her official invitation is posted below.Her acceptance of this official invitation reads as follows: "As the New Jersey Director of the International Coalition for Drug Awareness and a resident of Raritan Twsp., NJ, whose child became violent and suicidal while taking an antidepressant, I look forward to attending this very important conference."It is my hope to educate others on the devastating effects of prescription drugs and their ability to cause a child, teen or an adult to become homicidal/suicidal."
As with all of our wonderful directors, we are grateful for Lisa's tireless efforts and proud of her for her work in educating others about the dangers of antidepressants. We only wish, as with everyone else who has had personal reasons to be counted among us, that she too did not have to learn about these drugs through such an up close and personal experience. ________________________________You are invited to a Conference on School SafetyTuesday, October 10, 2006National 4-H Youth Center7100 Connecticut AvenueChevy Chase, MD 20815Doors open at 7:00 a.m., please arrive no later that 8:00 a.m.The Conference will conclude at 2:15 p.m.This invitation is not transferable and space is limited.
