Bright Beginning’s focus is to address
the child's social and emotional needs as well as academic.
Our belief is the more we encourage these skills at an early
age the greater the opportunity to thrive academically and
become a productive member of society.

PREVENTION PROGRAMS
Prevention is the Key |
|
| S.P.C. mainly focuses on two strategies
for prevention. Primarily we try to reach the children before
any form of risk behavior occurs. We include important features
from basic models of prevention, striving to educate on the
social and health consequences, involve children in positive
alternative activities, enhance coping and decision
making skills and aim to develop or enhance self-esteem and
a positive self-image. Secondary prevention
focuses on youth-at-risk who are faced with environmental,
social or family pressures in attempts to educate them
on risk-taking behavior and teach and enhance the social
skills which are needed to refuse this behavior.
S.P.C. believes that "the arts" are a form
of prevention for the problems that our youth face today.
Alternative activity workshops give these youth opportunities
to be involved with a drug-free and violence-free environment
while enriching their creative expression and engendering
their self-worth. A child who has the opportunity to experience
dance, music, theater, puppetry and other forms of "the
arts" is more likely to turn to positive forms of recreation
than to turn to drugs and violence. |
