Mark D. Lanyon
Ph.D. in Health and Human Services
Braveheart160@juno.com

Lanyon's Thesis, "Developing a Comprehensive Treatment Program for Emotionally Traumatized Substance-Abusing Adolescents"

Dr. Lanyon is Director of the Intake Department at Brandywine Counseling and works directly with heroin-addicted young people. He is also an ordained minister and has a BS from Cornell University and an MHS from Lincoln University. When asked about his CCWU experience, Dr. Lanyon said: "Work on my dissertation has provided me with many valuable tools that assist me in my work with emotionally traumatized, substance-abusing adolescents. During my counseling career, experience taught me there was a significant connection between emotional trauma and substance abuse in adolescents, and the dissertation project gave me the opportunity to substantiate this connection.

Moreover, as an ordained minister, I am now—after finishing the dissertation—more aware of the importance of encouraging young people to explore their spirituality. Finally, completion of my dissertation has increased my self-confidence, thus enabling me to minister with more authority and power."
