Y.E.S.S. DC Sheriff Presentation |

DCSD is partnering with the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office on a new middle school program designed to increase awareness of personal safety and positive life choices. The Youth, Education & Safety in Schools (Y.E.S.S.) program will be offered to 7th grade students this year, with lessons on:
• Teen Relationships: setting boundaries, risky behaviors, sexual harassment and sexual assault.
• Internet/Cyber Safety: cyber bullying, predators, identity theft, “sexting,” gambling/gaming.
• Substance Abuse Education: illicit, over-the-counter and prescription drugs, peer pressure, prevention.
Cresthill will begin the program at the end of September in into October with Deputy Jay Martin. The program replaces D.A.R.E. at the middle school level and addresses issues that more directly affect this age group. “We know that the topics we are teaching are very relevant to middle school students based the research that has been done,” says Phyllis Harvey, the Youth Education Project Coordinator for the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office. “The subject areas were chosen with collaboration between teachers, administrators and the Sheriff’s Office to hopefully reduce risky behavior and increase positive social and life skills.” The program will begin expanding to other District middle schools in the next few weeks, as their health class curriculums get underway.
For more information about the Y.E.S.S. program, contact Phyllis Harvey at the DC Sheriff’s Office, 303.814.7033 or pharvey@dcsheriff.net. |
