DESIGNED FOR CHILDREN AGES 6 TO 11, THIS FILM USES CARTOON CHARACTERS AND INTERVIEWS WITH CHILDREN TO EXPLAIN THE NATURE AND FUNCTIONS OF A SUPPORT NETWORK AND ITS USE.
Abstract
USING A FAMILY OR COMMUNITY SUPPORT NETWORK CAN HELP CHILDREN COPE WITH VARIED PROBLEMS AND EMERGENCIES. CHILDREN ARE SHOWN DISCUSSING WHAT THEY WOULD DO IF THEY WERE LOST, IF A FIRE BROKE OUT, OR IF THEY FOUND SOMEONE FOLLOWING THEM AND FELT THREATENED. THEY ALSO DISCUSS THEIR OWN SOLUTIONS TO FAMILY PROBLEMS OF DRUG ABUSE, PARENTAL VIOLENCE, OR BEING TOUCHED WHEN THEY DO NOT WANT TO BE. THE FILM EMPHASIZES THE IMPORTANCE OF KNOWING WHOM TO CALL ABOUT PROBLEMS, INCLUDING POLICE. DOCTORS, CLERGYPERSONS, AND TEACHERS. A DISCUSSION GUIDE ACCOMPANIES THE FILM. (AOP)
