[Kirsten]

Just wanted to pass on a little info about a conference here in
Oregon. Please see below and visit the website for more information.

CULTIVATING
PARTNERSHIPS III:
Juveniles With Fire and the Impact of Media

Cultivating Partnerships III will provide
the opportunity to network with and
learn from a multidisciplinary staff of
experts representing the fire service,
education, mental health, social service,
law enforcement and juvenile justice.
Workshops and presentations represent the
continuum from prevention to intervention.
Given the increasing number of media
sources and ease of accessing media by
youth, it is essential for fire prevention
and intervention programs to consider the
impact of media on firesetting behavior.
Additionally, the use of media to inform,
educate, and intervene with youth can be a
powerful tool to help them develop skills,
express themselves, and engage in positive
social and civic activities. Workshops
will allow participants to expand their
knowledge about the impact of media on
youth and develop new ways to use media
to connect with children and adolescents.
Cultivating Partnerships III is excited to
offer workshops focusing on youth fire
prevention and intervention strategies
in Indian Country. This special program
is designed for professionals working
with youth and families from native
communities and tribal nations.
