Partner Event | Cal Farley’s Boys Ranch

Phoenix House Texas is grateful to be partnering with Cal Farley’s Boys Ranch where PHT’s CEO, Drew Dutton, M.Ed., MBA, MAPP, LPC-S, LCDC, ACPS, will be presenting on Positive Psychology.

Project Empathy is a research-based workshop dismantling stigma around substance use disorders using neuroscience, positive psychology, and practical strategies. It bridges research with real-world application, showing why many treatment models fall short and how to improve them. The session introduces solution-focused therapy, strength-based practices, and empathy as actionable tools. Participants learn to integrate these concepts into clinical care, education, legal systems, and daily interactions. Emphasizing adolescent development and addiction neuroscience, it explains behavior patterns and recovery potential. This training will provide education and support tailored to the audiences of the youth, parents, and staff.
