Kevin Jennings, assistant deputy secretary of the Office of Safe and Drug Free Schools, will address JMATE’s plenary session at 8:45 a.m. on Thursday, Dec. 16, at the Renaissance Baltimore Harborplace Hotel. He will discuss efforts by the Education Department and federal government to reach out to youth currently in recovery.
The 2010 JMATE conference, entitled, "Synergy Envisioned ~ Action Inspired," will bring together close to 900 service providers, researchers, policymakers, and members of the recovery community to learn about cutting-edge research as they work in concert to improve the heath and well being of youth and families.
