Feedback with Toni Reece and guests: Zaida Guadalupe-Sanchez and COCA

Today on FEEDBACK we are talking about opportunity, creating pathways, building skills, and helping people move forward in their lives and careers.  Joining us today on FEEDBACK is Zaida Guadalupe-Sanchez, co-owner of Optimist CDL Coaching School, an organization focused on helping individuals gain the training and confidence they need to enter the trucking industry.  Our second hour on FEEDBACK is a drug and alcohol update with Zoe Stankaweicz, Prevention Specialist and Yvonne Stroman, Community Programs Specialist both with Council on Chemical Abuse (COCA).  April is Alcohol Awareness Month and according to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, 85.6% of people aged 18 and older reported that they drank alcohol at some point in their lives.  Irresponsible consumption costs Americans over 200 billion dollars annually in productivity loss, health care costs, criminal justice costs, and motor vehicle crashes.  Great information and resources are shared in this segment of FEEDBACK.
