Steered Straight School Assemblies
Vaping Me Crazy
#1 Requested School Assembly in America
Is vaping safe?
Negative Effects of Vaping Trends.
Bottom line—the use of e-cigarettes is unsafe for kids, teens and young adults.
“Thank you so much for coming to our school and speaking about drug abuse and vapes and what it can do to young kids. After that I’m never gonna touch a vape ever again now that I understand what I’m putting into my body. Do you know how many students quit nicotine since u came? It’s crazy! Some of the most addicted people in our SCHOOL quit and stuck with it because of you! U have helped so many people. You made me rethink things before it got bad and you helped a lot of us quit. I don’t know if words can describe how thankful we are that you came and shared your story!!! U saved a lot of students. It’s sad but it truly has turned many people’s lives around. You lived it and u turned it around and so many people wanna be like you!”
Fentanyl Awareness – One Pill Can Kill
“Fake & Fatal” – the Truth About Fentanyl
Fentanyl, heroin’s synthetic cousin, is one of the deadliest drugs in the world.
Unfortunately, the rate of fatal teen overdoses is on a steep upward trend with fentanyl, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. It’s important that students, teachers, school administrators, parents and community officials get a thorough fentanyl education so they know more about it and how to handle its effects.
Our in-depth presentation teaches students how the epidemic started, how it’s getting worse and how they can stop it, as well as the evolution from opioids to heroin. They are provided with methods on how to avoid involvement and prevent it from affecting them personally so they are able to make good decisions and right choices.
We also offer the only fentanyl curriculum available. It’s time to find out with good fentanyl instruction so we can stop lining the pockets of drug cartels and drug dealers with no concern for its effects on our youth!

What Educators Are Saying…
“Michael has a wonderfully powerful message to give, and the kids respond to him well. He is captivating and very “real”, and the kids just soak up the information he puts out.”
– Middlesex County Sheriff’s Office
“The Steered Straight presentation sent a out a non-filtered message that is needed to reach some of our most challenging students. It was a honor to be selected as a sponsored school and to have your program at our school touching lives.”
– Cypress Run Education Center
Steered Straight – Impacting Today’s Youth
In this era of addictions, overdoes and drug poisonings, the message is vital…but so is the messenger. Kids don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care. The messenger must be believed for the message to get through.
Steered Straight, Michael DeLeon and our Recovery Army of speakers do this effectively and powerfully, which is why audiences say they have never been impacted on these issues like seen through the Steered Straight program.
