Omega Boys Club/ Street Soldiers Presents “Alive and Free” Violence Prevention Training

Dates: Mondays, March 19, 26th, and April 2nd, 2012

Time: 8:30-4:30pm

Location: 1060 Tennessee Street  San Francisco, CA 94107

At the heart of the Alive & Free Prescription is the notion that violence is a social disease with an explicit treatment process. The disease is transmitted by the germs of bad information, bad instruction, bad advice, and bad example that to young people appear to be good. Youth are exposed to these germs via their families, peers and neighborhoods; and through music, television, video games, and movies. The disease appears as techniques for survival when, in fact, the opposite is true. Infected youth do not survive, they only learn how to die or go to prison. The Alive & Free Prescription works to change beliefs, attitudes, values and actions that promote violence.
