by Danita A. Johnson Hughes Ph. D. (Author)

Embrace Your Chance to Shape the Future. As the world changes faster each day, so do our youth. Cell phones, email, texting, the internet, and a host of other technologies make today's kids smarter...and in some ways harder to guide toward good choices. It's enough to make any adult throw up their hands in despair. But with issues of violence, drugs, sex and others that children and youth are exposed to on a daily basis, giving up is simply not an option. In Influencing Today's Youth: Shaping the Behaviors, Expectations, and Aspirations of Tomorrow's Leaders, author Danita Johnson Hughes, Ph.D., shares powerful principles that will help adults influence today's youth to rise above adversity, navigate through societal and peer pressure, and make smarter choices in all aspects of life. Whether you're a parent, teacher, childcare worker, youth coach, social worker, psychologist, youth service worker, or youth advocate, you'll discover how you can be a positive influence in the lives of tomorrow's leaders...today.

Author Biography

With an amazing story of transformation, hope and triumph over difficult odds, Danita Johnson Hughes is a healthcare industry executive, speaker and author. Through her professional work, keynotes, writing and philanthropic activities, she inspires people to dream big and understand the role personal responsibility has in achieving success. Danita's early life was filled with desperation and hopelessness. As a high school dropout and unwed teen mother, she was the statistic that many considered doomed for failure. Refusing to give into her circumstances, Danita made a decision that changed her life: she decided to take personal responsibility for her situation and turn it around. She enrolled in classes at Indiana University Northwest and earned two degrees, a Bachelor's and Master's degree in Public Administration. She continued her education earning a second Master's degree in Social Service Administration, a graduate certificate in Health Administration & Policy from the University of Chicago and finally a Ph.D. in Human Services from Walden University, Minneapolis. Armed with education and hope, she set out to change her life and the lives of those around her. Today, she is dedicated to helping people of all walks of life establish and achieve lofty goals. The only female African American CEO of a certified mental health center in Indiana, Danita leads a team of dedicated professionals at Edgewater Systems for Balanced Living, Inc., an organization that provides behavioral health and child welfare services for the citizens of Gary and Northwest Indiana. She is certified to provide leadership, consulting and motivational speaking engagements. Danita has received many awards for her work including awards from the two most recent governors in the state of Indiana.
