About the Presenters

Charlie Seltzer was introduced to the field of substance abuse prevention through his career in HIV prevention. As an HIV educator for his county’s public health department, Charlie was struck by how often drugs and alcohol played a major role in HIV transmission. Halting the spread of HIV also meant reducing the impact of substances on people’s lives. After retiring from 10 years with his county’s public health department, first as its HIV prevention education coordinator and later as its substance abuse prevention administrator, Charlie began consulting with the Center for Applied Research Solutions (CARS). Since 2012, when he joined the consulting team at CARS, Charlie has provided prevention education and technical assistance to 32 of California’s 58 counties.
