Giving Back Using Life Stories: How to Use Public Speaking as a Tool to Change Youth Behavior [CEU] Room 204 This workshop features a panel of speakers who were incarcerated as youth and while in the youth correctional facility joined a public speaking team. They traveled the state speaking to audiences about their lives and it changed them. Since being released, they have created The Messengers. The Messengers travel the country sharing their lived experiences at youth facilities nationwide educating youth and adults on the power of positive relationships and that one person can make a difference. The Messengers will share their experiences/insights on how public speaking allowed them to repair harms they had created. The Messengers will end with facilitating a discussion about how participants can make impacts on justice involved youth by teaching them to give back through sharing their life stories. https://themessengers.net Moderator: Jaqueline Holsinger , PREA Manager, South Carolina Department of Corrections, Columbia, South Carolina Speakers: Gordan Brown , Messenger, Keep On Giving Foundation, Columbia, South Carolina; Andy Broughton , Executive Director, Keep On Giving Foundation, Columbia, South Carolina; Chris Thompson , Messenger, Keep On Giving Foundation, Columbia, South Carolina Implementing a Statewide Colorectal Cancer (CRC) Screening Program Without Colonoscopy [CE/CME] Room 103C Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the fourth most common cancer diagnosed and the second leading cause of cancer deaths in the U.S. To reduce this burden, national guidelines recommend CRC screening starting at age 45.
