     NetSmartz

NetSmartz  is an interactive, educational safety resource from the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children^® (NCMEC) and Boys & Girls Clubs of America (BGCA) for children aged 5 to 17,  that uses age-appropriate, 3-D activities to teach children how to stay safer on the Internet.

The goal of the NetSmartz Workshops are to extend the safety awareness of children to prevent victimization and increase self-confidence whenever they go online. These goals include to

• enhance the ability of children to recognize dangers on the Internet
• enhance the ability of children to understand that people they first "meet" on the Internet should never be considered their friend
• encourage children to report victimization to a trusted adult
• support and enhance community education efforts
• increase communication between adults and children about online safety

The NetSmartz Workshop teaches children the rules for online safety.

• I will tell an adult I trust if anything makes me feel scared, uncomfortable, or confused.
• I will ask my parents or guardian before sharing my personal information.
• I won't meet in person with anyone I have first "met" online.

Smart Moves

The SMART Moves (Skills Mastery and Resistance Training) prevention/education program addresses problems such as drug and alcohol use. More than simply emphasizing a "Say No" message, the program teaches young people ages 6 to15 how to say no by involving them  in discussion and role-playing, practicing resistance and refusal skills, developing assertiveness, strengthening decision-making skills and analyzing media and peer influence. With this the teens and I have Created  our show called "My Life My Conflicts."The goal of our new show is to help teens of all ages find a positive and responsible solution to their everyday conflicts and problems. Teens and children send us their story, our show re acts it and then at the end of our show, we display a positive way to confront or solve the conflict! All are true stories however REAL NAMES ARE NEVER USED. All we ask is for age and gender along with his/her story, this to help keep stories as confidential as possible.
