Changing Behaviors through Social Norms
Written by Terry Kerr   

"Actuality Training"

How many times have you heard students say "everybody is doing it", when you know in fact that everyone is not? Social norms campaigns take into account that behavior often is influenced by incorrect perceptions.

Social norms campaigns reinforce the majority who make healthy choices, remedies that incorrect perception and changes unhealthy behavior with a creative and innovative messaging campaign.

Previous campaign results include: 20%reduction in students who drove after drinking alcohol; 29% reduction in students who rode in a car with a driver who had been drinking and 37% reduction in students who think it is OK to miss several days of school!

Powerful Wisdom in Dealing with VT massacre
Written by Susan Tarasevich   
 Dear Student Assistance Professional,
   We offer you this AM, some powerful advice on at least ONE level.  Communication, yes, Glorification, no.  You may find the comments made by Michael Welner this AM on Good Morning America of interest.  The take-home message
  • The gruesome videos DON'T help us understand him.  Rather they give us a glimpse of unedited delusion with potential to 'give fodder to the isolated and disaffected.
  • Stop showing the video, protect children from it on TV and in print media 
  • Pay attention to those kids who are isolated and disaffected, as well as those who write and express themes of rage, violence and hatred  .  Identify,  refer them and follow up with them and their parents.
The videos of Seung-hui Cho, the man who fatally shot 32 people at Virginia Tech on Monday and then killed himself, shouldn't have been released because they don't offer the public any greater understanding of the gruesome crime, said Michael Welner, a forensic psychiatrist and ABC News consultant, on "Good Morning America" today.
