Situations
Life is a roller coaster for all of us. Times of joy, moments of despair. One important thing is to realize that for the most part someone else may have also faced what you may be facing now. This thought is not meant to minimize what you may face, but to help search for support and perhaps different ideas to approach your problems. Some of these challenging situations include:
Bullying
Every day in our schools (and communities) children are teased, threatened, and tormented by bullies. Bullying has been identified as a problem that creates a climate of fear, affecting the whole school. Those who fail to recognize and stop bullying behavior as it occurs actually promote violence. >read more
Chronic Illness
The child with a serious medical illness is at greater risk for developing emotional problems. Unlike a child with a temporary sickness such as the flu, the child with a chronic illness must cope with knowing that the disease is here to stay and may even get worse. >read more

Sexual Abuse
Child sexual abuse has been reported up to 80,000 times a year, but the number of unreported instances is far greater, because the children are afraid to tell anyone what has happened, and the legal procedure for validating an episode is difficult. >read more
