| Purpose : |
The main idea behind this project is that the youth in our community are at risk for involvement in crime and are being negatively affected by criminal activity in our community and there are little support systems in place for youth to deal with this situation. The main purpose project is to educate youth about how to maintain their safety and well-being. We plan to achieve this mainly through having youth participate in activities that support healthy, positive lifestyles, and provide learning about issues related to risk and prevention. This would include workshops on issues such as self-esteem, substance abuse, sexual and physical abuse, suicide prevention, anger management, and grief and loss. |
