Program encourages support of BPS efforts Research shows that aggressive behaviour in children predicts risk of later delinquency, substance abuse, school dropout, and depression. Research also indicates that improving outcomes for children needs to begin in the early years. A program entitled Second Step: A Violence Prevention Curriculum is currently being used in kindergarten and Grade l classrooms at the Blyth Public School. The Second Step program helps children develop the social skills they need to control anger, resolve problems, and understand the perspectives of others. When parents are involved with school-based violence prevention efforts, children receive the necessary reinforcement and opportunities to practise the skills they need to create safe environments and become successful adults. The Second Step Family Guide is a four-session, facilitator-led program designed specifically for parents of children who are participating the Second Step program in their classrooms and will run on Wednesday evenings, beginning Feb. 16 from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at the Blyth Public School. The Huron County Child Abuse Prevention Committee. who sponsors the Second Step Program in schools across the county, will facilitate these free sessions as part of their ongoing work to prevent child abuse and strengthen families. The Huron County Child Abuse Prevention Committee is the home of Rural Response for Healthy children. Families Ties, and THE Bus. To register for this program or to find out more about the work of the Huron County Child Abuse Prevention Committee, please call 482-8777 or I-800-479-07 16.
