Operation M.A.D., Inc.

Bullying: Bullying can drastically affect the ability of children to progress academically, emotionally, and socially. Participants learn how to identify bullying while parents learn how to prevent and/or appropriately intervene in instances of bullying.

Criminal behavior: Training sessions discuss factors that lead to criminal behavior before participants take a field trip to state correctional facilities.

Substance abuse: Specialized support is given to the substance abuser to help them understand the negative mental and physical effects of drugs and alcohol.

Family conflict: Parents or legal guardians attend weekly sessions to learn about communication and conflict resolution techniques.

Gang awareness: Both participants and parents are trained to recognize gang paraphernalia, rituals, initiations and social behaviors. Participants cannot be involved with gang activities or associate with known gang members.

Low self-esteem: Sessions are provided in self-evaluation, motivation, and personal development to assist the participant in understanding the underlying personal reason(s) for some of the factors that brought them to the program.

Truancy: In addition to receiving tutoring in areas of academic weakness, participants are required to provide a copy of report cards in order to identify subjects that need immediate attention to prevent a failing grade.
