Formerly Director of Committee for Children (1982-88), Alice oversaw development of a line of ground-breaking print and video products now used in 60,000 classrooms in several thousand school districts across the country and validated as effective in clinical studies published by the AMA.
As part of that work, she led the re-framing of sexual abuse prevention in the early 1980s.
Alice has received dozens of national awards for her media work, as well as eight regional Emmy’s. She has also received awards for social leadership and excellence in health education, among them the Distinguished Public Service Award of the Association of Federal Investigators, Health Educator of the Year, and a Presidential Letter of Commendation for Child Safety Leadership. She has authored a book and numerous articles on topics related to preventing youth violence and child exploitation, and has been a keynote speaker on these subjects at dozens of national conferences. Her projects have been featured in major national print and broadcast media.
In 1997, Alice turned to technology as the platform to best realize the next generation of health education materials. She partnered with technology innovator Sarah Berg to start Ripple Effects, a San Francisco-based company that develops and publishes software programs to address health, behavior, and social problems. In 1998, Alice and Sarah released Ripple Effects’ first program relate for teens.
relate for teens has captured the attention of leaders in health, technology, prevention, and education. It has won several media awards of excellence, and national leaders are calling the program a breakthrough, that will mark a change in the way we do our work in health education/prevention. Schools in 15 states are using the program, and early research shows dramatic learning results.
Throughout her career, Alice has pioneered groundbreaking programs to help youth and the educators that work with them. Her recently completed multimedia software program is the culmination of this work.
