School programs to stop violence and hazing incidents

The new program is run by Spectracare here in the Wiregrass.

From http://www.wtvynews4.com/home/headlines/677057.html:
 
Candy Gaff, Spectracare prevention specialist, says, "The children learn how to work through their problems instead of just getting upset and using violence. They learn how to calm themselves down and talk it over with the other person instead of resorting to violence."
There are nine sessions in the Second Step Program and teachers say they see a difference in their students even after just a few visits from Gaff.
The Spectracare program reaches students in Pre-K through 6th grades in Barbour, Dale, Geneva, Henry and Houston Counties.

Hopefully this will cut down on the dark side of school - hazing and bullying, caused by and causing upset and rage.
