| What: |
Resist is a free web-based multimedia learning tool to help teens cope in the wake of the terrorist attack. It uses real stories, skill training, and interactive activities, to develop skills for managing feelings, promoting tolerance, and understanding patriotism. |
|
| Why: |
To reduce chances youth will respond to the attack by scapegoating, hating, and stifling the dissent of others, and by using drugs or alcohol to anesthetize what they are feeling. Resist helps build a few key skills that can dramatically affect kids' lives. |
|
