"Break the Silence -- Stop the Violence"
With the mission statement, “Break the Silence – Stop the Violence”,
the Sandhills Crisis Intervention Program (SCIP) dedicates itself to
educating schools, youth, and adults in the Panhandle of Nebraska about
the dangers and dire effects of abusive relationships. Marcie Ferretti,
a SCIP outreach volunteer and coordinator, visits schools throughout
the Panhandle presenting alarming statistics about the number of teens
currently involved in abusive and controlling relationships and warning
about the resulting consequences that could change a young person’s life
forever. An anonymous SURVEY conducted
at GCHS revealed some alarming statistics that illustrate how prevalent
teen relational violence is in this district. Garden County Schools
and the State of Nebraska are dedicated to addressing this issue,
educating our students and patrons, and providing our children with a
safe learning environment.
Ms. Ferretti encourages anyone in or aware of an abusive relationship
call SCIP at its toll free number -- 877.836.6055 or access the crisis
line – 308.284.6055. Ms. Ferretti can also be reached at
[email protected]. All calls and contacts are strictly
confidential.
