This web site is well thought out and contains pertinent information for crisis intervention and prevention. It is based on the premise that students are the eyes and the ears of every school and essentially hold the key to their own safety.
Young people are often suspicious and intimidated by telephone 'hot lines'.
They are afraid their voice may be recognized, their call could be traced or the receiving party may have 'Caller ID'. Incidences, such as those in Colorado and Georgia, can occur anywhere. We must intensify our efforts to protect our students. We need to take advantage of every reasonable means to reduce the prevalent use of tobacco, alcohol and drugs in our nations schools. There may be instances when students may feel that they are putting themselves in danger by reporting a drug pusher or an individual with a weapon.
