Liz is also a consultant to many independent and public schools and treatment agencies, and is a popular speaker on parenting pre-teens and teenagers. Her well know parent seminars, "Delay Your Gray," "Taming Your Teen, Love Laughter and Limits", "Media in Balance" and, "Loving Limits" have been heard by thousands of parents to outstanding reviews.
She has written a curriculum for middle and high school students called, "This Is Your Teenage Brain on Drugs" and presents this program personally to many schools each year.
