Hello Laurie,
Can you share some stories of the experiences and impact of kids who have been involved in your program? Also, could you explain how 18 and Under stands out from other educational programs? What makes it different? What makes your approach really unique and innovative?
Thanks!

I think the MEGEN project is inspiring not only to the people working in it but also to the community they work with. I have been lucy to participate in their sessions and community trainings. I think the strategy should be shared widely in the world.
I am a Police Officer who has worked with the materials with children young people and elderly residents in my area. I have seen the increase in amount of disclosures made when the programme has been run. This programme makes it easy for people of all ages to speak out about abuse the area, or have suffered. This is an inovitive way of tackling abuse issues in a fun way. I feel that this programme tackles all types of abuse and is pitched at all different age stage and development of society. The material is so easy to use that it can be adapted to suit any issues. I would suggest that this is one of the best prevention programmes in the world today and if we all want abuse to end forever... Then this is the programme to use.
Congratulations to 18 & Under, who continue to develop games and programmes to end abuse.
I have seen this in action. THIS PROGRAMME WORKS!!!!! What a great way of abuse prevention. Its fun, energetic, and children young people and even the elderly learn without knowing it. If it works in SCOTLAND, It WILL work all over the world. This IS THE WAY TO END ABUSE FOREVER.. Well done to 18 & Under.
Eighteen And Under has just produced another V.I.P. resource for use with teenagers. it is a DVD plus a 48 page users guide for teachers and youth leaders. The DVD was made by young people and includes scenes about difference types of domestic violence, rape, sexual exploitation, prejudice, internet grooming and sexual abuse. it is designed to challenge and change attitudes amongst young people that lead to violence and abuse.
We are now working with groups of elderly people and the police on the production of a DVD and resource pack for use with vulnerable elderly people. This is aimed at preventing elder abuse, encouraging elderly people to break silence if they are living with domestic abuse or any form of violence and keep them safe from harm.
