and blaming the parents. at the same time, parents can play a critical role, at the very least, in observing, being aware of what their children are going through and being willing to intervene and get some help for them. we need to-and i think some of the work that you're doing is really helpful in diminishing the stigma and the shame attached to seeking help because so many young people really can benefit from help. the question of whether to use medication or not is very complicated-so many factors-and i think has to be addressed on an individual basis. but parents should not be afraid of it. tami, it calls to question not only what the parents can do but what whole entire communities can do. what is really the concept of a prevention prepared community? i think a prevention prepared community is willing to talk about some of these tough issues, willing to work together to have collations, to have groups that come together to try to support adolescents, children, their families. there is a number of those

that parents piece that's really important in this partnership with community based organizations parents and the districts. we need those 3 pieces of to help us. and so that's what packs has been able to do. likewise we want to take a moment to honor and thank ruth the former pack coordinator who took the pack to a whole other level and made it a high functioning body to come to give an entity to initiatives and open that dialog between district staff and parents. so we want to thank her for all the work she did to create a sustainable body to her commitment to fame engagement. and we look forward to continue working with her. we look forward to fulfilling our commitment and doing that job together >> thank you and i'm happy to be part of this pack. >> i'd like to thank you georgia for our report brown but before you go we have a certify of appreciation and a congratulation certificate we'd like to present it. before we present it i'd like to turn it back over the president norton >> comments from board members? thank you. i just want to express my gratitude. actually, it's been my time

children do not pass before their parents. we began to see that the school, the high school in los gatos, led by a very strong, great principled people, brought in an organization to help and after all i should preface in 2009 was a brutal year for los gatos high school, they lost two other students shortly before jill died. the school and principal brought in a counseling group called cassie, counseling and support services for youth, embedded counseling. and their job was to change the culture, very much what we've heard today, change the culture to get rid of the stigma of mental health and understanding that a lot of these kids feel anxiety and stress, they need someone to talk to. they just don't have the perspective that an adult has. >> one of the things that struck me was the boys were interviewed, they knew they were in trouble, but i didn't hear them say i'm sorry, i shouldn't have sent the picture on. >> the three boys were arrested and they complied with a vuft stis program and part of that program was to write a l

fine strong willed parents ready to take a handicapped child able to join their family today. yes i was brought up in this orphanage myself she's my family didn't last long my parents divorced and they didn't get along well it happens in families and mom got a job here with the so my two sisters and i were taken to live in this house. thanks to mom's love leave here and didn't feel like or difference. but i've been around orphan since i was a little girl. and my young and innocent heart witnessed this harsh life the little some kids have it really hard it is and they need help over the. child to live in an orphanage for along it lives its mark on a child both on his character and personal attributes each with a child should be raised in a family. she will develop completely differently with a family relationships but we cannot give this to a child in an orphanage no matter how strongly we love the child children and wish him well but no matter what good conditions we have here we will never be able to give it. the discipline that she hasn't been here for alone she has a big pr

. >> we need to reach the parent and the care givers when we started the program we were doing mostly out reach to the students and we realized that they are not the ones who are making the decision about how they make it to and from school, so we are structuring our program to be more and more about the parents and the care givers, we do do evaluation of the program and student travel talleys and ask the kids how they got to and from school and do parent surveys, analyzing what their attitudes are, in the beginning when we started, the first or the top five concerns were safety of intersections and the speed of traffic and also distance and violence. when we first started violence was the number one concern and at the end of the program it has dropped to number five. actually the top three are all traffic-related. >> and we or our performance over all since we started in 2009 we have seen a one percent increase in walking, a half percent in increase in biking and one percent decrease in single family vehicle over the 15 schools and that may not sound like a lot but that is the first

so would you today we're having a class for future parents along with children from orphanage. why do we do this gettable first of all that is done to prevent parents from sending the child back to their own french children from orphanages have a special fate that's how i put you but they are special because they haven't experienced certain everyday troubles of course this affects their mental state and their behavior. that parents need to learn how to interact with them at the polls but they need to find a way to communicate with found the one thing within they should learn to love and accept them and you might think that the movement with that i'd say that we try to provide parents with certain knowledge and skills then they can use the scales in their life to build a friendly and kind family. victims to the children always like attention and care physical contact because they just are important for them and our children now open and social they're able to communicate they share their energy and adults also get positive emotions at this lessons. if candidate parents like a ch

it is very important that parents-to get back to your initial question that parents are supportive of the efforts on the part of the school system or the college. unfortunately, we run into many parents who are just so focused on wanting-being concerned about their child's record and something being on their record that they immediately take this adversarial stance and they want to just sweep it under the rug and not be supportive of getting that help. that's sad. and i think it's really important that we train and also educate our faculty members, our administrators at different schools, so that every school becomes almost a recovery school and stigma is reduced about the-for young people. i think this is particularly important for different cultures and genders because there's definitely differential stigma associated. beyond the colleges and the staff within the colleges, so let's talk a little bit about primary health care and its role. should physicians be concerned when they're treating a young person or a young adult with these issues? i think that's an important piece to recov
