Presentation Information:
David Parnell’s presentations are designed for several different
audiences with a running time of 1 hour to up to 2 hours. All
presentations include education about methamphetamine, David’s
personal story, and are in PowerPoint format. It should be noted
that all presentations contain graphic images of the effects of
drug addiction and viewer discretion is advised.
For Schools: This one-hour presentation is suitable for
public schools, grades 6 and up. In some cases, younger students
have been included. In addition to David’s personal story of
addiction and recovery, it includes facts about methamphetamine
such as slang names, appearance, routes of use, gives a brief
description of the chemicals meth is made out of and the dangers
of “cooking”. The short term and long term effects are also
discussed. The topics of child abuse and domestic violence in
relation to methamphetamine use are also included. While David
is a devout Christian, he understands the limitations placed on
sharing his beliefs in the public schools. Survey results from
one school district can be seen here.
For Conferences and Training Seminars: Whether it is a
keynote address, workshop, or anything in between, David’s
presentation can be adjusted to fit any time length between one
and two hours. David devotes more time to discuss suicide, child
abuse, sexual abuse, and domestic violence in the longer
program. He also has several short videos he can show. A
detailed workshop description and objectives are available upon
request.
Churches, Correctional Facilities and Community Events:
David also has a faith-based presentation that can be used in
these venues. It is the same program he does in the schools with
more of his personal testimony with emphasis on the effect God
has had and continues to have in his life and how Christianity
relates to meth addiction in general. This presentation
typically runs 1 ½ hours, but like the rest the time can be
adjusted. Advertising material is also available for community
events upon request.For a printable copy of David's public
