I am thrilled to report on the excellent work of the Nipissing Attendance Centre, a program of Crisis Centre. Last year, in addition to their standardized programming, they provided gender specific programming to almost 100 students in grades 7-12. The topics include: self-esteem, personal growth and self-care, stress management, anti-bullying/cyberbullying, being role models and allies, safe dates and sexual consent.
Providing guidance and support to teens is an essential part of helping them develop into mature, well-adjusted adults.
This fall the Attendance Centre will continue to offer programming to vulnerable youth. Check out the program's summary on the website for more information!
