"Cool Kids"


 

Cool Kids helps students answer the following questions:

  • When should I talk to someone?

  • Who should I talk to?

  • How can I get help?

  • What are some safe choices?

  • Are there other kids like me?

Students living in homes where there is domestic violence may exhibit the following signs:

  • Truancy

  • Drop in grades

  • Poor attention span

  • Isolated - not many friends

  • Low self-esteem

  • Consistently tired

  • Thinks violence is acceptable way to solve problems

 

Take Action for the Safety of Kids

Impact minds at an early age.  A "cool" choice now can make a safe school in the future...

Make the right choice for your students and for your school.

 

The Cool Kids program includes:

1.  Classroom instruction for the students.

2.  SCHOOL PERSONNEL IN-SERVICE - This helps teachers recognize the impact domestic violence has on children.

3.  PARENT WORKSHOP - This helps parents understand the effects of domestic violence on children and will present an overview of the program.
