EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR'S NOTE
Prevention & Outreach
At Operation Care, we want Amador County youth to thrive in healthy friendships and relationships, and to experience a violence-free lifestyle.
Our GO! Youth Program is sponsoring several wonderful programs including an Anti-Bullying course called "Let's Get Real" and our "Chrysalis Group" for teen girls. Check out all the flyers to the right, or call Anna or Natalie at 223-2897 for more information.
All of our Go! workshops are free of charge. Transportation assistance is also available if needed.
Last month, we focused on Healthy Relationships and made a presentation to the Girl Scouts and to Independence High School students. If your group would like us to stop by to explain our services and programs or make a presentation about Healthy Relationships, please give us a call at 223-2897!
Enjoy the beautiful Fall weather!

Anti-Bullying Classes
 Our Anti-Bullying Program for Elementary and Middle-School students called "Let's Get Real" examines a variety of issues that lead to taunting and bullying, including racial differences, perceived sexual orientation, learning disabilities, religious differences, sexual harassment and others. The program not only gives a voice to targeted kids, but also to kids who do the bullying to find out why they lash out at their peers and how it makes them feel. Classes are on Wednesdays from 3:30 - 4:30 through November 5th.
