The Council on Alcoholism and Addictions will be offering a new series of Kid’s Power! beginning Monday, March 27th.  Kids Power! is an awesome 8-week educational series for children ages 7-11 who are affected by a loved one’s addiction and is offered free.  This program is supported in part with funds provided by the Heartland United Way and is designed to help children:
·        Understand addiction in an age-appropriate way
·        Explore and express feelings in a safe and supportive environment
·        Realize they are not alone
·        Learn a variety of problem-solving, coping, and self-care strategies
·        Build self-worth, self-confidence, and positive feelings about themselves
·        Simply be kids by learning to have fun in safe and healthy ways
“It is common for addiction to “run in families.”  This program offers a wonderful opportunity for the whole family to get involved in the recovery process, especially the children who often times are overlooked and feel left out.  Giving a youngster an opportunity to embrace a path of healthy growth and development is a wonderful gift!!  Kid’s Power! offers these young children new knowledge and skills that will help them break the cycle of addiction and grow up strong and healthy,” says CNCAA Executive Director Connie Holmes.
 
Class size is limited to 10 youth, offered in-person, on-site at the Council respecting social distancing guidelines, and providing extra care with sanitizing room, tables, and equipment.
 
This next series begins Monday, March 27, 2023 and will meet each Monday evening (through May 15th) from 5:30 – 7:30p.m.  A light dinner will be provided at each session for the youth participants.  Each session will be held at the Council offices at 3204 College Street, Grand Island. The series will conclude with a Family Celebration on Monday, May 22nd from 5:30 – 7:00 p.m.  Pre-registration is required.  Registration forms are available at the Council or to register online https://www.jotform.com/cncaa/KidsPowerTeenPower.

SOCIAL MEDIA 101In today's society, social media is the most efficient way to stay connected. The many platforms, such as Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, allow users to get a peek into others' lives through written pieces as well as pictures. Social media applications (apps) can also be used to encourage online learning for students in schools. However, there are downsides to technology and how it is used amongst teenagers today.The best course of action is to have a conversation with your children and about their safety online and be in the know of their app usage and purposes. It would also be beneficial to set guidelines for their role online and privacy settings to prevent concerns from arising in the future. The apps are readily available on all smartphones and can pose an issue for students' self-esteem and their image to people who come in contact with them, both personally and online. Here are some resources about apps that are out there and why it is important to stay connected in a safe and smart way:
