• Dr. Lewis and the Time to Play Foundation’s Enjoy Life Coaches will help you understand how habits are formed.  
• Dr. Lewis will provide an overview of how life experience gets encoded into the brain.
• Dr. Lewis will explain how challenging emotional circumstances can lead to anxiety and/or depression and addiction of all types, and how adverse childhood experiences can affect us throughout our lives.
• A skills workshop for social and emotional learning to promote positive responses to negative life events will be provided regarding self-awareness, behavioral self-control, empathy and communication.

TIME FOR ACTION:   The Time to Play Foundation believes it is time to change the conversation from reactive recovery to prevention. 

The Foundation has developed a PREinvent YOUR Life® program that will be offered to our youth and to people of all ages so they can move forward in their life. 

We will present this critical program at the Start 2018 Winning at Life event.  

What if we gave our kids and our people emotional intelligence life and coping skills they need now - instead of waiting for them to need reactive counseling? 

We could save lives and avoid despair.

While we do believe recovery services are needed for those who are in addiction presently, our goal is to provide the awareness and skills to potentially prevent development in the first place.

Start 2018 winning at life.     You deserve to love your life.    We all do.
