We had a successful 2-day camp doing our Broken Princess program with a group of teen girls . This is a trauma based program for girls who choose cutting as a coping skill to deal with difficult times. There were many tears and lots of laughter. The girls learned a lot about working with their pain. They also learned new coping skills to manage that pain. We ended our camp with each girl being individually crowned the princess she is and hearing her peers speak positive things about them. It was a GREAT time!
June will bring the annual Boys and Girls club day camps. We are all excited. The boys will do a survival hike, learning how to survive in the woods but also learning important life skills to take everywhere. Their camp is June 23, 2017
The girls camp is June 30, 2017 and they don’t like the hike at all!! So we do girly things with the horses, crafts, and hopefully an entertaining show by the girls like they did last year.
All our camps are designed to teach life skills and to instill confidence in these young kids, as well as have LOTS of fun!!
We have presented our Suicide Prevention program in most of the high schools in our area as well as in several DYS programs. We did a Cutting to Cope program for St. Clair High School, thanks to their counselor who is on top of the needs of her kids.
