We Help Ourselves

WHO is a national, video-based program that teaches children how to protect themselves in dangerous situations. Family Strengths Network presents the program to every first, third, fifth, and eighth grader in Los Alamos county. Each group has age appropriate lessons. All students receive information about strangers, hurts, secrets, and inappropriate touching. Teens also receive information about peer pressure, sexual harassment, depression and suicide, date rape, domestic violence, and emotional abuse.

Thanks to Jennifer Bartram for presenting the program to eighth graders, and Beth Breshears for coordinating that grade. Thanks to Diane Young for coordinating the elementary grades; we are still seeking volunteer presenters for our elementary school program. This program is funded by the Northern New Mexico Health Group Grant.
