Raising awareness about the trends in, and dangers of, social media

This program raises awareness about trends and dangers throughout social media. Participants learn about Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, Twitter, and TikTok; identify the possible dangers of social media outlets; understand responsible use and the legal, social, and emotional consequences of misuse; discover the prevalence and pressures concerning sexting, cyber-bullying, and privacy issues. We will discuss the dangers of social media, as it relates to drugs and alcohol, including the effects social media has on the brain, addiction, and the risk this technology creates with easy access to drugs and alcohol for our kids. The sooner we teach our children how to responsibly use technology, the less likely they are to develop an addiction to drugs and alcohol. Participants will leave the presentation with the resources that are available to monitor and combat the misuse and dangers of social media.

STEP: Systematic Training for Effective Parenting

This offering will be in Spanish.

This program is an interactive practical approach to parenting and handling challenging behaviors. The program provides skills training for parents of children from 6 through 12 years of age. Using the STEP multimedia kit our staff teaches lessons to parents on how to understand child behavior and misbehavior, practice positive listening, give encouragement (rather than praise), explore alternative parenting behaviors and express ideas and feelings, develop their child's responsibilities, apply natural and logical consequences, convene family meetings, and develop their child's confidence. Parents engage in role-plays, exercises, discussions of hypothetical parenting situations, and the sharing of personal experiences.

Anger Management

This offering will be in Spanish.

Anger is an emotion with which most people are familiar. What many may not realize is that anger is often used as a way to avoid dealing with uncomfortable feelings, such as fear or sadness. CHC’s Anger Management program helps participants recognize and understand underlying reasons for their anger, as well as identify triggers and warning signs. Additionally, attendees learn the role of anger in alcohol and drug addiction and practical, peaceful techniques for controlling reactions to challenges and managing stress.
