Professional
Development Program
A program that conducts educational Seminars
for educators that include Certification
that will allow them access i-Safe
Curriculum.
The
Alcohol/Drug Awareness Program
This program is available to schools
that request information for students
from grades 6-12. The PowerPoint
Program includes information about
the dangers of all drugs, including
alcohol that children are exposed
to and are all too readily available.
Death
Notification Program
This program provides information
for all first responders that,
in their every day duties, may
experience tragic events. Bringing
notification to families that
a loved one has died in any type
of tragedy is an extremely difficult
task. Participants learn about
the need to be very aware of the
responses that they might incur
when they bring notification of
a sudden death.
Internet
Dangers for Kids
The
Stranger Danger Internet Program
is designed to educate and empower
youth to safely and responsibly
take control of their Internet
experience. We are working with
schools to educate students on
how to protect themselves from
cyber predators, recognize potentially
harmful or inappropriate actions,
avoid or extract themselves from
potentially dangerous situations,
seek help when threatened, and
maximize the positive features
of the Internet.
Although
the Internet provides children
with many educational benefits,
it also presents dangers. What
America's children can see and
do online has been a major concern
for parents, educators, and law
enforcement ever since the Internet
became widely available. The main
crime prevention issues children
face while surfing the Internet
today are:
exposure
to inappropriate material on the
Web that may contain sexual, hateful,
or violent content,
bullying
and harassment through email or
chat/bulletin board messages,
luring or intent of physical molestation
when they innocently provide personal
information or arrange a meeting,
legal
and financial errors, such as
giving out parents' credit card
number, and
plagiarism and other intellectual
property issues, such as copying
information off websites into
school papers or downloading music
without the owner's permission.
While
much of the responsibility for
supervising children falls to
parents and educators, children
themselves need to be taught how
to act responsibly and be safe
online. There are limits to direct
supervision and no filtering software
is perfect.
