Youth & Children’s Resources

TZadmin — Sat, 21 Apr 2012 16:46:00 +0000

Here’s an easy-to-use index to Youth & Children’s web resources and sites for parents, youth workers, educators as well as kids and teens.

National Children’s Coalition

TZadmin — Sat, 21 Apr 2012 16:43:01 +0000

NATIONAL CHILDREN’S COALITION, sponsor of YOUTH AND CHILDREN RESOURCE NET on the World Wide Web, was started in Spring 1994 to be a central resource and referral center for information on issues and activities centered around American children and teens.

NCC was also established to advocate for a much more substantial and urgent effort to stem the growing crisis of our kids: the epidemic child abuse, the alarming suicide rate among our teens, violence directed at and even by children, AIDS, runaways, domestic violence and latchkey children and a lack of adequate activities and opportunities for youth, particularly in cities.

A service of STREETCATS
FOUNDATION, a 501c3, tax-exempt, public benefit corporation, NATIONAL CHILDREN’S COALITION is also a membership organization for children and youth groups, workers and advocates for youth. It helps other groups with fundraising, creation of local radio public service announcements, media advocacy, affordable Web pages–and effective communication with each other.

NCC also makes available a one-source referral bank of local information on children and teens, for parents, kids, social workers and advocates.

NCC will be producing annual national (and California-only) RADIOTHONS to educate the public about the crisis concerning our children, to focus on programs that are helping kids and gather donations and volunteers for participating local groups around the country.

On the Internet’s World Wide Web, we will also be producing CITY KIDS, a new city-by-city guide to childrens and youth resources.

The NATIONAL CHILDREN’S COALITION is also creating and distributing, via Galaxy Satellite, a national series of advocacy public service announcements titled “Through the Eyes of A Child,” featuring children and teens talking about their needs from each other and from adults and all they–as kids and teens–have to offer all of us.

Please e-mail, snail mail or call us at 415 671-6670 for any resources you need, or with links, ideas and energy you have to contribute. We can also create affordable Web sites and help produce radio PSA announcements for your group.

Although funded in part by generous, caring people at the Public Domain Foundation, Motorola Corporation, Trepp Family Foundation, and AST Computers, your tax-deductible contribution to keep all of our work going, to help our children, is welcome and very much needed.

TZadmin — Sat, 21 Apr 2012 16:32:38 +0000

The number of American and Canadian children and teens who run away from home each year, live on the streets of major cities, or are abducted from their homes by one parent or other relative or are victims of stranger abduction is a tragedy involving millions of children.

VOLUNTEER FOR OUR CHILDREN

TZadmin — Sat, 21 Apr 2012 16:19:01 +0000

Presidents Clinton, Carter, Bush and Ford and Vice-President Gore joined General Colin Powell in a call for volunteers to help our kids—to prevent and stop children in poverty, youth violence, child abuse, illiteracy, teen suicide, domestic violence and all the other ills in American society that are being inflicted on our children in alarming proportions.

VOLUNTEER FOR CHILDREN will give you ideas on what you can do and where you can contribute your time to help children. On the 1st.of each month, we will add additional volunteer opportunities, so be sure to bookmark us as a central place for information, or email or write us at the addresses below.

You need not give more than 2, 3 or 4 hours a week. Some work you can do at home can be of value, too!

Volunteer to help coach local sports or get involved in fun activities or games in your community that involve children.

Violence Prevention

TZadmin — Sat, 21 Apr 2012 15:29:35 +0000

Our children and youth continue to be highly at-risk from violence on the street, at school and at home.

These resources can help you, your school, neighborhood or city to learn what fosters violence and what can be done to prevent it and to begin conflict resolution and keep our kids safe. If you have anything to contribute please do so. Even getting an online criminal justice degree can help to get as many good resources as possible.

TOUGH LOVE AND DISCIPLINE PROBLEMS/TREATMENT OPTIONS

TZadmin — Sat, 21 Apr 2012 15:27:54 +0000

The following organizations may be able to help you better discipline your troubled teen: The Total Transformation Program – Family First Aid – Teens in Crisis – For Troubled Teens

Call with any Problem, Anytime: Girls and Boys Town National Hotline Phone: 1-800-448-3000 and if a parent looking for a support group, try Al-Anon and Naranon. Even if alcohol and other drugs are not involved, you’ll find support and ideas from other parents coping with hurtful behavior.

What are commonly referred to as ‘juvenile boot camps’ are limited to youth already within the Juvenile Justice System or on probation or sentenced by a judge.

There are other kinds of programs run privately that offer tough love or other strict discipline, often related to youth substance abuse.

There are also vital support groups for other parents going through the same problems with youth and they offer not only support but constructive ideas. Focus on the Family is one good resource.

Koch Crime Institute, which publishes a national guide to juvenile justice boot camps, advises:

Identifying local programs in your state is best accomplished by using resources in your community. Contact your local county attorney or juvenile justice office, community mental health center, school counselor, and in some areas, the public health department. All of these organizations know of programs for youth. Financial assistance may be available to you. Many programs are based upon one’s ability to pay depending on income level. Other treatment programs accept health insurance and private payment from parents who can afford such an arrangement.

Other alternatives you might consider come from the Texas Youth Commission and the National Association of Therapeutic Wilderness Camps.

A site with many links about defiant behavior disorders is Conduct Disorders. Be sure and check out the ‘Parent Message Board’.

We are currently researching community-based alternatives for low-risk juvenile offenders, but this report will not be available until late 1999.

We suggest that you first carefully and patiently identify the particular problems of your child (substance abuse, trauma, emotional/behavioral disorder, physical ailment i.e. bipolar disorder/manic depressive disease) and to do so, try counseling at school or in the pediatric uynit of your local hospital or city/county mental health department.

If the problem is alcohol or other drug abuse or that is triggering pre-existing behavioral problems, a residential substance abuse treatment program is recommended. Check Streetcats Foundation for Youth/National Childrens Coalition’s own Teen-Anon site’s Resource Center, contact your local branch of the National Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence or call your local city or county United Way Help Line.

You cannot deal with a teen’s other emotional problems, nor can they if they are self-medicating with alcohol, pot, cocaine, inhalants, crystal meth or other drugs until first they get clean and sober. After detox and rehab, it is important they keep in a 12-step recovery program like AA and NA where they learn new behavior and a new, disciplined, spiritual and honest way of dealing with themselves and others.

Depression could also be the problem, caused by a chemical imbalance (physical) which can be treated medically or by repressed feelings of low-self-esteem, trauma and other causes (emotional). Depression can manifest as willfullness, lack of interest in school, rage. Adolescent therapists are best able to recommend and treat in these instances.

Dual Diagnosis (substance abuse and primary or secondary emotional problems) can also exist and both require their own treatment.

Still another possible cause of behavior in a teen is Attention Deficit Disorder or A.D.D. Below, you’ll find information on it as well.

Whatever the cause of your child’s ‘acting out,’ it likely did not get to its present stage overnight and it won’t go away overnight.

Careful diagnosis and then equally careful assessment of treatment options or solutions will be required.

It is also vital that you and other family members ‘get healthy’ as a whole family becomes afflicted when one of its members, child or adult, has a serious problem. Often the ‘recovery’ of the rest of the family has much to do with and even serves as the catalyst in the healing of the teen or pre-teen.

Whatever you do for your child, it is equally important then that you get ‘treatment’ and ‘recovery’ and ‘support’ emotionally for dealing with it and its impact on you. So, too, for all other family members. Nar-Anon and Al-Anon Family Groups in your community are highly encouraged as are Tough Love support groups and individual counseling and ‘family therapy’ addressing the emotional needs of your entire family.

These are remedies and solutions if all else has failed. Often, suspending being emotional and judgemental and talking calmly and patiently with your teen or pre-teen and some good counseling can work and make long-term disciplinary programs unnecessary.

Remember that the second part of ‘tough love’ is love.

All of the juvenile boot camps in the U.S. (both private and state) we have identified are for youth in the department of corrections or ordered there by a judge.
