Youth Camp Focuses on Health

Lorrie King, CDF’s Community Health Director, is working with IRC’s Summer Youth Camp to focus on health education.  Forty youth from 16 different countries had the opportunity to share health challenges and possible solutions.  One session of the camp looked at domestic violence. Partnership Against Domestic Violence and Men Stopping Violence spoke with the youth.  The young men participated in a discussion about making good choices and regulating emotions.  The young women in the group examined the definition of abuse and how to have a personal safety plan.
