Essay On Student Intervention Reintegration Program

Improved Essays
When I started this response paper I thought I was just going to be looking at a bunch of different websites that all looked the same and said pretty much the same thing. It was very refreshing to see that wasn’t the case and that for the most part they were all very different. This was a really hard response to do because there were so many good campaigns which made it really hard to choose just two. One of the campaigns that I thought was most effective was Student Intervention Reintegration Program(SIRP). This campaign targets the youth and focuses on educating them about the experimentation and usage of various drugs and alcohol. I thought this campaign was effective because it is very visually appealing and is very easy to navigate through. What the whole website is about is right on the first page so you don’t have to dig to figure out what its all about.

Another campaign that I feel wasn't very effective was the Enforcing Underage Drinking Laws. This made absolutely no sense to me and I still have no idea what message this campaign was trying to get out. Like the Behavioral Health in the Workplace campaign this one was also very visually unappealing. I feel like if you wanted someone to help stop underage drinking then the steps should be laid out in a better

    Anti-drug public service announcements have used many different methods of achieving their goal. Many of these ads are intended to make people scared of drugs, however, I believe no PSAs have been as scary as the ads from the Montana Meth Project. The Montana Meth Project fights against meth use in the state of Montana. They have made many ads intended to educate and dissuade teens and young adults thinking about using meth. One such commercial, entitled Jessica, features multiple settings with a voiceover telling a story of a girl and her experiences in each place.…

    When someone wishes to go to Australia, to flee persecution, they apply for protection with the Australian government. While they’re being processed for whether or not they are eligible to have asylum in Australia, they are kept in large camps called detention centres, and are called Asylum seekers. However, these detention centres are cruel and inhumane in their treatment of asylum seekers, and should absolutely not be used to hold anyone. Case in point, Don Dale detention centre, the place of the former juvenile prison, located in rural Northern Territory. This centre has recently come under fire for inhumane treatment of teenagers during riot.…

    About two thirds of students in college drink some type of alcohol in a month and more than half of the students that drink alcohol, report having at least one heavy episode. These statistics are associated with lower grade point averages, higher rates of drinking and driving, higher rates of violence, and a significant economic cost to colleges and the community. Colleges have prevention and intervention programs ranging from universal programs to selective programs for students that abuse alcohol. Over the years, there has been an increasing number of programs that use multimedia technology to provide prevention messages.

The first was achieving a professional diagnosis of her mental condition and the second was the stigma of mental health. The diagnosis for mental health illness are statistically derived from a scoring system on a list of enumerated symptoms for each diagnosis as a conglomeration or array of variety of psychological functions such as memory, learning, perception, consciousness, emotions, thought, reasoning, imagination and problem solving and until recently only the patient was permitted to participate in the evaluation not friends or family (Thirunavukarasu, 2011).

    We call America the land of opportunity. But we are not giving enough opportunities to refugees.

In 1980 we let in 207,000 refugees into our country, but those numbers have dropped ever since. In 2002 we only welcomed 27,110 refugees into our country.…
