We are in our second week of SSP 2011 and things are getting real, fast. First let me introduce myself, I am Amara, and will be working with Alan (who posted the welcome below) as a coordinator for SSP 2011. Now back to the program.
During the first week (last week) of SSP we decided that this summer we would focus on abuse in the Greater Grand Crossing community. At first we weren't sure what type and aspect of abuse we would focus on- while many people we spoke to thought we were referring to drug abuse. However after having discussed some goals for this week, including talking with a social worker at Gary Comer Youth Center, we are thinking about narrowing down our area of interest. Perhaps we will focus on physical and verbal abuse as it relates to mental health in teenagers. However, that is a mouthful and nothing has been set in stone. Hopefully by Friday we will have a better idea of what we will be focusing on.
