Facilitator Bios

Education facilitator - Koko Tbibzadeh
BS in Chemistry.  Married for 35 years, mother of 2 boys. President of Drug-Free World LA Chapter. Started volunteering with them 10 years ago after I started to notice how teenagers and young kids are actually dying from the use of drugs after first time use and realized they just must not know what drugs are really capable of doing, they are just fed lies they believe. And so started getting the Truth About Drugs materials out to them because I also know we can't tell them what to do or not to do. They need to make up their own minds and they need correct information to make correct decisions and that is what this material does.
