The American Heart Association is committed to providing students with the most recent, effective resources including a textbook and CD-ROM (included in price of class) which incorporate the most up-to-date, science-based treatment recommendations.

Gang activity is a reality in our schools. This is an issue in our community that we cannot ignore.

This session will focus specifically on identifiable risk factors and identifiers that make an individual susceptible to gang activity.

We will describe the research based strategies to address those risk factors and how to create protective assets for individuals to reduce the possibility of gang involvement
