Be Part of the Conversation
www.Conversation.zoneIn the spring of 2011, Hatboro-Horsham School District introduced Be a Part of the Conversation, an expansive program aimed at bringing together parents, students, educators, health care providers, law enforcement and mental health/substance abuse experts to confront substance abuse and its impact on young people.
This groundbreaking initiative, pioneered by Hatboro-Horsham School District, has grown beyond the communities of Hatboro and Horsham and will soon expand into other school districts and communities. In June 2014, Be a Part of the Conversation became an independent organization and is pending IRS approval as a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization.
Hatboro-Horsham School District will continue to partner with Be a Part of the Conversation, and we look forward to working together toward its Mission: Addressing substance use, abuse and addiction and its impact on young people by building a culture of awareness and support.

Eastern Center for Arts and Technology
EASTERN is accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools. The campus is located in Willow Grove and the school is owned by nine school districts in Eastern Montgomery County. They include Abington, Bryn Athyn, Cheltenham, Hatboro Horsham, Jenkintown, Lower Moreland, Springfield, Upper Dublin and Upper Moreland.
Programs taken at EASTERN are considered part of the high school program and count as elective credit toward graduation. They give students the opportunity to reinforce their career path after high school, get a head start on collegiate studies in that field and get ready for employment. Most of the half-day programs offer advanced placement college credit opportunities for students continuing their education after high school in similar majors. -

Helping Children Cope with Loss
Allow children to be the teachers about their grief experiences: Give children the opportunity to tell their story and be a good listener.
Don't assume that every child in a certain age group understands death in the same way or with the same feelings: All children are different and their view of the world is unique and shaped by different experiences. (Developmental information is provided below.)
Grieving is a process, not an event: Parents and schools need to allow adequate time for each child to grieve in the manner that works for that child. Pressing children to resume normal activities without the chance to deal with their emotional pain may prompt additional problems or negative reactions.
Dont lie or tell half-truths to children about the tragic event: Children are often bright and sensitive. They will see through false information and wonder why you do not trust them with the truth. Lies do not help the child through the healing process or help develop effective coping strategies for lifes future tragedies or losses.
Help all children, regardless of age, to understand loss and death: Give the child information at the level that he/she can understand. Allow the child to guide adults as to the need for more information or clarification of the information presented. Loss and death are both part of the cycle of life that children need to understand.
Encourage children to ask questions about loss and death: Adults need to be less anxious about not knowing all the answers. Treat questions with respect and a willingness to help the child find his or her own answers.
Don't assume that children always grieve in an orderly or predictable way: We all grieve in different ways and there is no one correct way for people to move through the grieving process.
Let children know that you really want to understand what they are feeling or what they need: Sometimes children are upset but they cannot tell you what will be helpful. Giving them the time and encouragement to share their feelings with you may enable them to sort out their feelings.
Children will need long-lasting support: The more losses the child or adolescent suffers, the more difficult it will be to recover. This is especially true if they have lost a parent who was their major source of support. Try to develop multiple supports for children who suffer significant losses.
Keep in mind that grief work is hard: It is hard work for adults and hard for children as well.
Understand that grief work is complicated: Deaths that result from a terrorist act or war can brings forth many issues that are difficult, if not impossible, to comprehend. Grieving may also be complicated by a need for vengeance or justice and by the lack of resolution of the current situation: the conflict may continue and the nation may still feel at risk. The sudden or violent nature of the death or the fact that some individuals may be considered missing rather than dead can further complicate the grieving process.
Be aware of your own need to grieve: Focusing on the children in your care is important, but not at the expense of your emotional needs. Adults who have lost a loved one will be far more able to help children work through their grief if they get help themselves. For some
