With its holistic framework, the school encourages students to develop
their own unique perspectives by offering course work that is integrated
into their professional specialties. Once graduated, students can look
forward to career advancement, career change, professional validation
or, just as importantly, a keen sense of formidable life achievement. Please

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."
