Additional Information

DrugScience is the website of the Independent Scientific Committee on Drugs, set up by Professor David Nutt to provide evidence based information on drugs to the public to reduce the harms of drugs and to provide a voice of rationality in the drugs debate. We've done well at increasing our social media support (20,000 and counting over Facebook and Twitter) but need to translate this into sustainable monthly donations. Part of the issue is communicating what we are doing and why it's important to supporters and to make our cause emotive.

Creating business model for new curriculum product

Description

Our organization had been developing a new innovative disability awareness program which serves the needs of today's inclusive classrooms and addresses topics that are critical to today's youth, such as social emotional health.   As we are in the final stages of the development of the new curriculum, we are looking to begin work on creating a model for taking our curriculum to other schools and towns who are also interested in this area of need.   Having only previously taught our program in Reading, MA for the past 31 years, we are looking for help in developing our organization to best handle this growth.
