Community forums to tackle problems of youth violence local psychologists team up with InitiaMTV in youth tive Anti-Violen- Psychological Associa- . Tha Utah tion are answering the call of concern about youth violence by con- vening special youth forums around the State aimed at helping youth recognize the warning signs of violent behavior and what to do when they recognize these signs in themselves or in their peer. These forum art part of a broad- er youth anti-violen- initiative spearheaded by MTV, members of the Utah Psychological Association, and the American Psychological Association CAP A). A number of other organizations have joined together in support of MTVs youth antiviolence campaign called 'Fight for Your Rights: Take a Stand Against Violence, including the White House, U. S. Department ofJustice and U.S. Department of Education. As demonstrated by the rash of school shootings last year, including the tragic shooting at Columbine, this issue strikes at the heart of every community, and everyone needs to do something about it said Dr. Debbie Quackenbush, Community Youth Forum coordinator. These forums will bring together psychologists, teens, community leaden, and other concerned residents. They will be shown the MTV documentary which concentrates on helping teens recognize the warning signs of violent behavior and how to get help. MTV turned to tho American Psychological Association to help produce this documentary. After the show is viewed, psychologists will lead youth in discussions about their reaction tothe who, how to spot the warning signs of violent behavior and ways to get help. Currently, the Utah Psychologi- cal Association is working with educators at state and district levels to host youth forum in high-schosettings. This will likely be a yearlong project with forums being held around the state at schools, churches, and community settings. Support from Governor Mike Leavitt haa also been sought for our efforts. With a membership of 150,000 psychologists, APA is the preemi- aent professional organization for practicing psychologists across the country. Wo are hoping for media support to publicize the Utah Psychological Association's efforts. These forum are provided free- - of charge to interested organizations. For more information, feel free to contact Debbie Quackenbush, Phi), Board Member, Utah Psychological Association at More information will be given to the media as youth forums are scheduled. ol FFA AWARDS-Nic- ole Killian.
