Action for Teens
Alcohol and drug abuse cause violence and are a consequence of violence. We all know someone whose life is affected by some sort of addiction. What can you do to help one of these people in your life? Encourage them to love themselves enough to reach out for help. Support them through this difficult time, and help them find the help they need. Action for Children Think about times when your parents have intervened to keep you out of harm’s way. What did they do? What was the outcome? |
Quote
Intervention only works when the people concerned seem to be keen for peace. ~ Nelson Mandela "When I see something unjust, I have to intervene - it's hard for me to watch the underdog suffer." ~ Kristen Bell
“Because you can't intervene everywhere, you don't conclude you can't intervene anywhere.” ~ Zbigniew Brzeziński “As citizens, we all have an obligation to intervene – it’s the citizen who changes things.” ~ Jose Saramago |
