Bio
In the past decade, admissions to recovery programs have increased 143% for students between the ages of 18 and 24. And yet few schools have adjusted their curriculum to address the increasing need for information about addiction and recovery. Anna David and Nic Sheff take the information gleaned from their own experiences with addictionwhich they've been able to share through best-selling books, numerous TV appearances and hundreds of published articlesand break down how addiction starts, develops and ends. Through anecdotes that are relatable to addicts and non-addicts alike, David and Sheff track the part low self-esteem, family of origin and genetics play in addiction as well as the role of self-esteem in young people everywhere. The program theyve developed, AFTERPARTY, is designed to help college students conquer self-defeating insecurities, deal with family members who are addicted and take the shame out of mental illness, addiction and self-doubt.
