This is also true when the subject is sex. Research shows that positive communication between parents and their children can help young people establish individual values and make healthy decisions. According to Barbara Huberman, RN, MEd, Director of Education and Outreach for Advocates for Youth, parents who act on the belief that young people have the right to accurate sexuality information are parents whose teens will delay the initiation of intimacy and use contraceptives when they choose to become sexually active.

The Parent Resource Center Main Street Port Washington, NY www.ParentResource.org Upcoming Events Spring Class Schedule Registration Info Center Announcements Member Stories Community Education PRC Outreach Mission Statement ... Web Design, LLC 25 years!!! Dear Members, The Parent Resource Center was established 25 years ago to give mothers a place where they could exchange information with each other, learn from professionals and share the joys and challenges of parenthood. In founding the PRC, Lynn Randolph broadened a home-based parenting program for low-income parents already established in Port Washington. Lynn recognized that all parents were increasingly under stress because they were raising their children without the traditional neighborhood or extended family support systems. She also understood that women who left their jobs to raise their children often had difficulty dealing with the isolation and uncertainty of their new role. In 1979 and for 15 years thereafter, the PRC was housed in 1 1/2 rooms of a school administration building. In these early years, Mommy and Me classes, open playtimes and professionally led workshops were the total of what was offered. But the need was great. Within 3 years the PRC had a membership of over 300 families and most classes had waiting lists. In 1985, the PRC moved to 232 Main Street with the creation of the Landmark Community Center.

Revised. http://www.nasn.org/positions/2005psbioterrorism.pdf (National Association of School Nurses. , Jun 2005) It is the position of the National Association of School Nurses that school nurses should be designated and recognized as first responders to mass casualty emergencies, including those resulting from bioterrorist events. School nurses should be trained in protection, detection, and treatment of victims of such events and in the command and control management techniques of the logistics of such a situation. The strategic position of well-prepared nurses within the school environment has significant potential for minimizing the effects of a bioterrorist attack in school settings and, subsequently, in the community at large 3p.
