Getting it Together - Together (G.I.T.T.)

The G.I.T.T. Program is a community-based project developed to support pre-adolescent/adolescent youth to stay in school and to develop skills so they can constructively cope with difficult issues and social conflicts that are occuring in their lives. G.I.T.T. groups are composed of 5-8 participants and a group facilitator.

G.I.T.T. focuses on the following areas:

• Developing and using appropriate social skills
• Learning and demonstrating health problem solving strategies
• Identifying personal strengths, skills and interests to be transferred into realisitic behaviours and goals
• Developing an awareness of dating issues and sexual values to promote positive self-assertion and healthy, safe relationships
