Help me!

This world needs you,
as I need your hand…
This world loves you,
as I love your soul.
Help me, when I’m alone,
when something worries me,
and I will give you something else,
I will teach you what I know!
Help me when I need you in trouble!
Help me, when it is scary,
and I will free you from another danger!
Here is my hand, let it protect you, so you will not worry.
I give it to you, my powers, my heart…
Lets help each other with whatever is possible…
Lets live holding our hands!

Fatal reflections

Fatal Reflections® is a computer-simulated situation of accident, resulting from alcohol abuse.
Young people tend to believe that tragedies due to alcohol and other drug impairment only happen to other people. Fatal Reflections® generates a personalized multimedia presentation in news story format featuring your students. Take digital pictures of participants and assign them roles in a motor vehicle crash or party scene. Fatal Reflections® creates a fast-paced, custom news story that describes an incident involving alcohol and places your students in the middle of the situation. Engage your audience in a meaningful discussion about the very real consequences of alcohol misuse and abuse. Influencing your audience to consider alternative choices to alcohol misuse and abuse begins with engaging them in meaningful discussion about personal responsibility and the consequences of choice.
