ABOUT US

MORE ABOUT RAY
Ray gave his first presentation a million years ago (at least that’s what it feels like) in high school as a presentation in health class. As someone who never used drugs or alcohol, he was motivated by wanting to know why certain individuals in his family made those choices. Fast forward to 1990, He decided to leverage and combine his time as an award-winning stand-up comedian with his extensive alcohol, tobacco and other drug research to create a unique, effective way of communicating with youth that has positively impacted tens of thousands of lives for more than three decades. In addition, Ray further developed his unique approach at a level-a trauma center’s teen drug treatment outreach program, resulting in a 92% success rate of non-repeat offenders. He discussed his approach in a TED-x event in 2017. https://www.ted.com/talks/ray_lozano_the_secret_language_of_emotion
