NARRATIVE
DEMOGRAPHiC AND NEEDS ASSESSMENT
In 1998, 188 juvensles were admif�ed to Boy's Tofem Town (BTT). The ethnic break down was 44.7°lo White, 37.2°l0
African American, 11.7°!o Asian, 4.3% Hispanic, 1.6% Native American, and .5% Other, Charges were prirsia��ly
felonies that ranged from aggravafed assault fo grand theft. Chemicai health assessments for aii admissions to BTT
have been completed since 1992. These assessments are compieted along guidelines of Rule 25 diagnostic and
placeme�tcriteria as used by Ramsey County Human Services. Overall results forover 1,650 assessments indicates
77% of ail admissions to BTT from 1992-1998 were assessed at risk, chemicalfy abusive, or chemically dependent.
For the period 19°6-199&, 8&°lo fit those categones. The frend for new admissions to BTT is totivard more serious
chemical abuse histories, Gvhich inciude significant chemical abuse grobiems within tneir families.
fn 1998, 2,667 kids were locked up in the Ramsey County Juvenile Qetention Center. The ethnic breakdown by
percentage was, 40% White, 37% African American,ll°lo Asian, 5°lo Hispanic, 4°lo Native American, and 3°!o Other.
2,200 were males and 467 were females. Some of the charges and the number arrested for those charges were;
assault 443, robbery 99, homicide 13, drugs 140, weapons 60, sex of�ense 36, kidnaping 6, violations ofi probation
450, and stolen cars 378. Their length of stay ranged from 1 day to 1 month, with an average of 6.6 days. JDC does
not currently have a drug assessment procedure or an alcohol, tobacco, and other drug prevention aAd intervention
program. The Superintendent, M+chaei Stevens says thaf, "Most of these kids begin to do better simply because they
stop using drugs while in detention. Kids are pretty open while in detention, so a program that addressed substance
abuse woufd be highly advantageous:'. Stevens roughiy estimates that 80% of the kids have some sort of ATOD use.
Most of the information for the needs assessment has been provided over the past tive years from focus groups,
indivitluaf interviews, and observations within the partner institufions. Pariicipanis included, but �r�ere not limited to,
youth from ages 3-17, parents from ages 14-7Q teachers, correction o�cers, CD counselors, attorneys, police
officers, psychologists, business owners, and social service providers. The participants have been diverse sociaily,
economicaliy, culturally, and educafionaliy. Participants in the on-going process seem to be best represented by the
demographic characteristics of the youth in the three partner insfitutions. The focus groups, interviews and
observations have been conducted or attended by Officer Ed Lemon. The needs assessment hzs been conducted
in As+an, African-American, Whike, Native indian, and Hispanic homes and i�stifutions i hese se+.:ings were private,
non-profit, govemment, community-focused, recreationa! centered, religious, and educationa( in nature. Numerous
interviews have been conducted in the greafer streets of St. Paul. By estimafion, the process inciuded approximaiely
15,OQ0 people.
More recently, to pian this grant, 8 focus groups were held with schoof and correction siaif, students, and parents oi
the three partner insiitutions. The major concems of the participants that they felt Healtn Realizaiion could address,
may be summarizetl as follows:
• Kids: getting adults to listen, gettirg adults to trust them, changina aduits bzhavior, how to de-escalate
conflict, managing anger, getting along aviih parents, how to overcome'being se(f-conscous.
� Adults: gang involvement and recruitment, getting kids and bosses to iisten, overcoming stress and burnout,
connecting with and motivating kids, changing kids 6ehavior, working with over active kids, getting along with
co-workers and the administration, keeping inner baiance, and managing wor;c loatl.

29°lo prescription drugs, 27°lo cocaine, 24°/o inhalants, 19°!o sedatives, and i6°/o opiates. Adolesce�ts in cor�eciions
in relation to adofescents in public schools were 2_ times more likely to use opiaies, 3 times more likely to use
marijuana and amphetamines, 3.5 times more IiRely to use other peop(e's prescripfion drugs, 4 times more likely to
use sedafives and inhalants, 4.5 times more likely'to use LSD or other halfucinogens, and 5 times more iikely to usa
cocaine. Kids in corrections ar2 4 times more likely to have tinjected drugs. Corrections kids are 4 times more likely
to be 2 drug users, and 5 times more likely to be 3 or more drug users.
1.5 fimes more adolescents in corrections use alcohol than adolescents in public school. Adolescents in corrections
are 2.5 times more likely than those in pub{i� school to tlrink more than 6 drinks at a sitting, and they are 3.5 times
mo�e likely to use alcohol & drugs befo�e o�during schooi. In relafion to the consequences oi sutistance a6use;the
average number of consequences during a year was 6.2 for adolescents in corrections vs 2.3 for those in public
school. More than haif of the adolescents in corrections reported indications oi impaired control oversubstance use:
needing more to get an effect, using more than intended, memory biackouts, and/or spending an entire day using
or recovering from the effects of using. 50°10 of adolescents in corrections repated social or vocational impairmenis
such as: legal problems re{ated to their use, driving after use, violent behaviorwhile using, job or school absenteeism,
and neglect of responsi6ilities. Familial rates of alcohol and drug abuse were 3 times higher among adolescents in
corrections than students in public schooi. In regards to tobacco use, 22% of adofescents in pubfic schoois and 58%
of adolescents in corrections admit to smoking on a daily basis. Of those, 8°!0 of public school kids and 36% of
corrections kids smoke more than one pack a day. In 1985, the Nationaf fnstitute on Drug Abuse stated that many
users among youth 12-17 are polydrug users. Of those that smoke cigarettes, 75°/o drink, 47% use marijuana, and

in regartls to this initiative, the St Pau{ Police Department entered into a partnership with �rlichael Stevens znd
Juvenife Deten"tion Cent (JDC) in Oc'tober oi 1997 in the form oi the "First Time Detainee Program", which is funded
tnrough a Children, Families, & Learning grani. Throughout the program, JDC has supplied meeting space znd a
fuH time probation off�cer to supervise the kids. Ramsey Counfy voluntarily provided the 25°lomatching funds requ!red
by the grant. In the program, kitls a:tend cfasses in Heaith Realization twica a tiveek ior three months, while on
intensive supervised release. The kids are chosen in regards to the following criteria: first time detained in Juvenile
Detention Center, ages 12-18 years, enrolled in school, some evidence of pareni concem and invo(vement. To da.e.
65% of ihe kids have not re-offended. The 35% who did re-offend did not regulariy attend or complete the tra+n+ng.
Lemon also teaches in the Secured Unit, 1-3 hours a month.

�o-ts�
Since April of 1998, Lemon has been teaching Health Realization in two of the fhree communities of Boys Totem
Town. Each Community dedicated 1 hour, 2 days a week. Community 2 incfuded the generai population and
Community 3 limifed if to `Peer Group" participants. Frank Nosch said thaf initialiy he was sold on the program
because of the opportunityforthe kids and a poiice o�cer to interact positively, and Lemon s wiifingness to work �r�ith
the worst kids. He said that later, it was the impact af fhe training that impressed him. There are no formal statistics
avai4able on this program, afthough staff members and students constantly attest fo how much this undersfanding
has heiped them. Hosch aiso notes that one of their eva{uafion tools has shown a decrease in deviant behavio�, but
this cannot be directly attributed to this one program. Throughout tnis program, Totem Town has suppfied meeti�g
space, time, and assorfed program supplies.
In September of 1994, O�cer Lemon began a partnership wifh the St. Pau! Public School District. His firstexperience
was with acting teacherJan Mandel and several of her dasses with a Health Realization based program cailed "Cops
N' Kids". The program focused on teaching police and kids how to stay in or regain a common sense perspective to
de-escaiate confticf and sofve pro6lems. Afier a year, Children, Famifies, and Leamirg awarded a two year granf
to create a video tape a�d curriculum based on the Cops N' Kids concepk. There was no substantial evaluaiion
component, but the feedback from the atlult and youth participants was very favorab{e. The weakness of the program
lay in the lack ofconsistent Health Realization training of the participants. The finished product refiected a lack of true
understanding of the principies.
In September of 1997 Mr. Smafler of Centrai Nigh School invited temon in for a week to teach his Health class. The
kids liked the curriculum so much that Lemon stayed for six weeks, and only left after contracting a flu virus that kept
him out of work for three weeks. Since the class, Lemon has run into many of the students from Mr. Smaller's cfass
who have claimed that learning Health Realizakion has improved their relationships with friends, famify and students,
and ailowed them to maintain their common sense perspective in adversity. Onestudentwho tivas contacted in March.
1999 said that she had suffered from a terribie addiction to aicohoi and marijuana, and the understanding she gained
from Neaith Realization allowed her to stop using.
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
The col{aborative paRnershtip of the St Paul Public School Dtistrict, Ramsey County Juveniie Gorrections, and the St
Paul Police Qepartment want to impfement a consistent program of Alcohoi, Tobacco and Other Drug (ATOD}
prevention in Boy's Totem 7own, and the Juvenile Dstention Center. These institutions have a non-traditionaf pubiic
schooi component. The foundaYional intention of this program is to create relaiionship-focusetl institutions and
individuals who recognize the resilience wiihin themseives so fhat can recognize it +n every human being. ft is this
perspective that wiil create a warm, nurturing environment that will help promote empowerment or seff-actualization
of the participants, The vehicle used to help creste this environment is fo educate the stari members who interact with
8' thru 12` graders, the parents of 8 tnru 12 graders, and lhe students grades 8" thru 12`" in the modei of
psychological funcfroning kno�rm as Hea{th Realizatian (Ha} os Psychology of Mind (PONI), and then have them apply
th+s understanding to their every day lives. The understanding gained 'through this etlucation wi{I al{ow participants
to function at a more healthy leve{ of cogniiion. Th+s level of cogni�ion will insulate them from participating in healih
dzmaging behaviors. By the completion of the granf, the modei wiii become pari oi the goveming phi(osophy of the
three institutions in the form of aduit and peer leadership, a daily school curriculum, and a model of in-house
prevention for poorschool performance, truancy, incidents of schooi tliscioline and suspensior, school drop-out, and
alcohol, tobacco, and otherdrug use. Health Realization directly fost2rs the healthy independent, mature, productive
side of people's psychological makeup ratherthan consuming fime and energy battling pathology and keeping people
focused on their dysfunctional thinking. Such a contribution leads to more efifective us2 of resources. At the end of
this grant, Health Realization wiil 6ecome part of the partner institutions, and therefore tne program wifl become self-

sustaining.
Currently th2re is a permanent Health Realization trzining component in both Boys i otem Town(STT� and Juvenile
D2terrtion(JDC). There has been an inconsistent Health Realizafion training componenf in the public school district
for the last 3 years. Curr2ntly, ali institutions but Juvenile Detention have some form of prevention and intervention
modef in place. S'tnce Health Realization wilf enhanc2 the participants undersfanding of how people tru{y function
psychologically via the principle of thought, the other models must become more effective. In addition, Fleaith
ftealization wili creaie a consistent conceptual iramework of prevenfion and inferveniion within and across the
insiitutions themselves, wh+le creafing a climate of �r�armth and respect.
An estimate of fhe number of parficipants in the three year grant program is: 25 public schoo{ staff, 60 corrections
sta�fi, 75 parenks, 400 kids in Boys Totem 7own, and 1,500 kids i� Juvenile Detention. The figures for the parerits and
students are based roughly on the year{y attentlance and turn-over of students wifnin the three institutions. All of the
-.. °.- ----
pragram act�vities �rill run for tk�e d�ration of the grant except the 2-day workshops and the Advanceif �ra�ier of °`
Trainers course which wiil have specific iime iines. The basic activities are as foiiows:
• School and correction staff training: staff who volunteer will receive Health Realization training. Fram this
understanding of psychological functioning staff wiil teach, mentor, guide, discip(ine, etc. Representatives
of the staff will also sit on the grant steering committee, and assist in bringing the program to the greater
school district and correctionai institutions.
• Parent Leatlership Program: parenis who volunteer will receive Health Realization training and then parent
and lead from this understanding of psychological functioning. A parent outreach worker will be hired to
reauit parents and keep them engaged in ihe program. Parent representafives wili afso serve an the grant
steering committee, and assist in brinaing the program to the greater schoo! district and correctional
institutions.
• Student Training: teachers who volunteer to be trained 'rn Health Realization, will teach Health Realizafion
within their daily classes with 8th-12th grade students.
• Cfoset Genius Program: stutlents who volun;eer and are at-risk because of attentlance, tlisruptive behavior,
discipline, or running away from a correciional facility will be trained in Heaith Realization.
• Peer Leadership Program: students who volunteerwi(i receive Heaith Realizatio� training and then wiif assist
in the "Closet Genius" (at-risk}dassroom, and later in standard classrooms. Student representatives will afso
sit on the grant steering committee, and assist in bringing the program to the greater school district and
correctional instiiutions.
• Advanced Training of Tra+ners Program: 12 schaol or correction staff w�no volu�teer wili be trained as
Advanced Health Realization trainers. Schoof and correction staff aviif take over aff 'training components by
the end of the grant period. Adva�ced Trainers will act as consu{tants in the fogic and teach on-going staff,
parent, and student ciasses.
Beys Totem Town(BTT) is a 4-12 month res+deniial, correct+onal;ac1ity fosup to 65 adolescent boys who have been
adjudicated delinquent by Juvenile Cour±. BTT has 15 St Paul Pubiic School stafi, and 70 correction sfafi members.
Tne iacility is locaietl in the Battle Creek area of Si. Paul. The program is comprised of three residential communiiies
or :-eaimeni units, each provid+ng a level based, open-ended program �+rhere a residents feng!h of stay depends on
his advanc°ment through the levei system. Eacn communiiy has a trea"tment team composed oi a unit superviser,
a caseworker, and a teacher o� case manager. The role of the tseztment team is to evaluate a resident's performance.
Th� team gives feedback to a resident and makes decisions on level changes and disciplinary matfers. The program
op�rates under the program cal{ed PEARS; Personai Effort and Responsibility System. li is highly struckured, can
be confrontatianal, but a program thatcontinua(ly reiniorces positive and appropriate behaviors. i ne primary purpose

of this program is to focus the attention of bofh staff and residenfs on behavior
The Totem Town program provides numerous support services fo residents in placement. The St. Pau{ Schooi District
provides a complete educational program. The educational program is sta;fed by special education teachers who
dzvelop individual leaming plans to meet the varying needs of tne students. Psychological tesiing and evafuation,
medica! assessments and care, casework services, daity peergroups, weekly family groups, �r�eekly support groups
and iniormational seminars are exampies oi services provided to a resident during his siay. Res+dents aiso have the
opportunity to become involved wifh numerous community agencies who provide programming and suppori groups
af Totem Torrrn.
The Ramsey County Juvenile Detention Center{J�C) serves juveniles 1 Q to 18 years of �ge. JDC has 1 � St Paui
Public School staff, and 70 correction staff inembers. Juveniles are detained for serious law violations and when
there is reason fo believe: they woufd endanger themselves or others; they wouid noi want to return for a court
hearing; they would nof remain in the care and of their parents; or theis heafth znd welfare is in•immediate
danger. The length ofi stay fiaiis into three categories; next day release, a week stay after pfeatling guiity to the
offense, and 30 days awaiting trial. An exception would be an adolescent awaiting to be certified as an adult. This
stay couitl exceed the 30 day period. The Detention Center's mission is to hefp protect the community by ensuring
that juven+les placed in custody remain in a safe and secure environment until the Juvenile Court decides on an
altemative piacement. JDC does not currently have a drug assessment procedure or an alcohol, tobacco, and other
drug prevention and intervention program. Psychologicai and chemicai assessments musibe courtordered, but there
are questions related to use in both tne atlm'rttance procedure and the health screening. "
The St Paul Schooi District#625 provides a strong educat+onal program to detainedjuveniles. Students are separated
into two groups, Junior High and Senior Nigh. In 1998, ii included a regular schoof program plus ten weeks of summer
school:
477 Students attended fhe regufar school program in the 1997-1998 school year,
121 were special education students;
185 were schoof drop outs;
240 students attended the summer school session.
This program wi(f be a combination of Universal and Se!ective types oi in!ervention. The program is Universa{
because it offers training in the model ta ali 8'" -12' grade s?udents and their parents, and all school and corrections
staff, without regard to risk factors for ATOD use. it is Sele�tive in the sense that rt targeis 8th-12th graders U�ho are
identified as at-risk for dropping out of school antl ATQD use.
TIE TO RESEARCH AND SCIENCE
The theary of prevention in this program is known as Healtn Realization or Psychology of Mind. Heafth Reafizatior
is foremost a modei of resilience that uses tne terms inn2te hea{th or unconditioned state of mind in its stead. I:
recognizes that all peopie, regardless oi theirdemograpnic cnaracteris;ics, current circumstarces, past experiences,
or fevef of educatron have the capacity to (unction in a healthy, stab{e mannec Thai in �„y given moment a!I peop(�
are capable of deariy seeing tneir circumstances and �indirg solutions to daily chailenges.
Leadership training and empowerment ciasses in this procram are a0 based on pinpoin2ng the source of alienatior�,
drug abuse, and violence in peopie's leamed habits of thinking. The training process staris with the HR trainers
listening to understand the kinds of problems, issues, anc stresses that se�m immu�aole and criticai to ihe targei
Page � of 2 i
oC� -t5q
audience-issues that they wouid nof recagnize as the+rown thinking. The educationaf formatof s11 Health Realization
training in this psogram is designed fo (a) help peop4e both identify and then recognize their seif-defeating thoughfs
as merely learned habits of fhinking and perception; (b) he(p them understand the difference between Qercepfions
and feelings generated by these thougMs and clearer perceptions resulting from tneir heafthy, common sense, here-
and-now thinking; (c) heip tnem recognize the vaiue of not acting on these leamed paitems of fhinking; and (d) heip
them see how to trust in their capacity to regain access io a healihier v2ntage point before acting or attempting to
address problems or situations to which they might oiherwise have reac"ted negative{y irom conditioned membries.
This is why there is little attention paid to demographic characteristics of ihe target audience, and so much success
has been realized in the racia4ly div2rse communiiies that have implemented Heaifh Realization and other resi(ience
modeis. Resilience is the same in any culiure, and at any age. (n this impersonal sense ave are afl the same(Bernard,
B.,1996; Boothroyd, P., & Eberle, M. 1990; Cowen, E. L., & Work, W. C. ]988; Kumpfier, K. L., & Hopkins, R. 1993;
Pransky, G., PAills, R. C., Blevens, K., Sedgeman, J. 1990; Werner & Smith, 1982, pp. 202).
_ - The underlying assumption of this theory is that everyone is cansfantly c�eafsng and re-creaiing their reality moment
to moment using their thinking(Bandura, A. 1989,1990; Bernard, B., 19°6, 1996a.; Beck, 1976; Pransky, G., Mills,
R. C., Blevens, K., Sedgeman, J. 1996; Shantz, 1975). Realizing this is the uitimate form of empowerment. Once
people recognize the role of thought to this dzpth not onfy do they change, but they create a process of change that's
on-going(Bernard, B., 1996).From the principle of thoughi come these basic assumptions:
1. There are two modes of thinking, conditioned or pzrsonal and unconditioned or impersonal( Maslow, A. H.
1973, pp. 254; Pransky, G., Miffs, R. C., 8levens, K., Sedgeman, J. 1996).
a. The state of mind known as conditioned thinking is experienced when analyzing or aciive{y
manipufating our thaughts to process and draw conclusions. This is referred to as "closed minded"
because if misused we limit ourseives to the information stored in our memory. (f we lisken whife
analyzing we wiil quickfy draw conclusions. and classify new informatior� according to our
conditioned thought process.
b. The state of mind known as uncondiiioned thinking is experienced when we relax our own ability to
anatyze. it is the default setting of our mind. This sta�e of mind has access to memory, but in a
bigger picture, less threafening perspective. This state of mind is known as resi!ience. if is a hea4thy,
uncontam+nated thought process tnaf is �he source of wisdom, common s�nse self-esteem, and
insight. This thought process a(4ows us to see life differently than through �vhai we already kno�u
(Bernard, B., 199�, 1991,1996, 199fia; Maslow, A. H. 1973, pp. 254; Pransky, G., Mills, R. C,
Blevens, K., Sedgeman, J. 1996).
Regardiess of their current state of inentai functicning, aff people have the same innate caoacity for healthy
psychological functioni�g(Bemard, 8.1990, 1991,1996,1996a.; Boothroyd, P„ & Eoerie, M.1990; Cowen,
E. L., & Work, W. C. 1988; Pransky, G., Mi;is, R. C., Blevens, K., Sedgeman, J. 199�; Rhodes, ,!. E., &
Jason, L. A. 1990; Wesner & Smith, 1982, pp. 202).
lnsight is a thought that comes from ou'tside of our already tormed infellec't, and therefore our memories or
way of see+ng 4iie (Mahrer, A. R. ,& Nadler, ��a'. P. 1986; Maslo�rr, A. H. 1973;Prarsky, G., Milis, R. C.,
Blevens, K., Sedgeman, J. 1996 j. An insight comes when in an unconditioned stat� of mind (Maslow, A H
1973, pp. 254;Pransky, G., Miils, R. C., 8levens, K., Sedgeman, J.1996). It is a tnoughtthat insiantaneously
changes the way we thi�k. After every insighi, neaative or limited thoughts that made sense to us, no longer
seem valid or important. Insignt acts as a psychologicai penicillin to heal the mem�ories of past tsaumatic
experiences, and the stories u�e innocently make up to explain tnose expenences(Pransky, G., Mills, R. C..
B4evens, K., Sedgeman, J. 1996).

• gang warfare and ethnic cfashes between Cambodian and African American youth ceased.
Environmental Protective Factors
Noteo as the environmental factor in this program are the parents, school and ccrreciion staff, peer leaders and
students within the thrze institutions. Research impiies that the most effective prevention programs that produce {ong
term effects are those that address muftipie risk factors, parents, school, corrections (Yoshikawa, Hirokazu 1995}.
Research also suggests that family, social support, and relationships are influenfial factoss in fostering resilience in
youth(Boothroyd, P., & Eberfe, M. 1990; Cowe�, E. L., & Work, W. C. 1988; Rhodes, J. E., & Jason, L. �+. 1990).
7hese relationships, when marked by warmth, and the absence of severe criticism, can have a su6stantial protective
effect against the tlevefopment of later anfi-social behavior (Yoshikawa, Hirokazu 1995). This warmth and lack of
severe criticism could be referred to as psychological wellness or resilience or innate mentai health. Research shows
thai the concepfs of competency, resi{ience, and empowerment can enhance psychological weliness (Boothroyd, P.,
& Eberle, M.199Q;Cowen, E. L 1991; Cowen, E. L., & Work, W. C.1988; Rhodes, J. E., & Jason, L. A.1990�. Heaith
Reafization teaches participants abouf innate resilience, how to access this sfate of resilience, and the role thal
thought plays in determining personai reality. It is a motlel of competency, resilience, and empowerment.
lndividual Protective Factor
Research implies that some of the most critical f actors to be emphasized in addiction prevention interveniions �or
youtn are optimism, empathy, self-esteem and life skifis sucn as emotional management and planning skills (Kumpier,
K. L., & Nopk+ns, R, 1993). Health Realization(HRJ teaches paricipanis that the source of optimism, empaihy, and
self-esteem is an unconditional state of mind kno��vn as innate health or resilience. HR ih2n teaches participants houv
to gain access to innate hea(th and make wefi pfanned decisions from this wiser perspective. Health Realization
recognizes that emotion in its most basic form is thought.'Nhen participants understand this, they leam te manage
their emotions by changing their thinking. Heaith Realization contains factors and skiils that research has suggested
are some of the most critical to addiction prevention interizntions.

fVfodeflo and Coliseum Garden Program
The program is modeled afterfhe Modello and CoViseum Gardens projects. In both PAodello and Coliseum Gardens,
ciasses in Heaiih Reatization were heid for school stafi, students, at-risk kids, parents, and program staff. The weekl�
ciasses had a common formai, and usually preceded orfoliowed a 2-5 dzyworkshop. Ciasses were 90-120 m'inufes,
once-t�rice a week for 9-10 weeks. The size ofi fhe ciasses fluctuated between 2-30 paricipants. Once impiemented,
fhe ciasses would run for the duraiion of the gra�t. The workshops woufd continue throughout the iife of the program
to introduce residents and service providers to the modef of community empowerment. The classes were voluntary
and were struciured like a social event serving refreshmenis and allowing open discussion. 7he average amount of
train+ng Nras 36-40 hours. The central focus of the classes was resiliency or innate health.
In Modello, the parent or resident empowerment classes wese conducted for 2 hours, once a week for 9 weeks, for
the duration of fhe program. These ciasses were fol{owed by a 5-day train+ng for residents who attended the 9 weeks
- -- -- - -
-—- of dasses and were hired as outreach wotkers. In CoTseum'�a�dens, there was arr iniii�l 2-daytraining;fioflowed �p'
by ciasses for 1.5 hours, once a week for 10 weeks, for the duration of the grant. {n Co{iseum Gardens, the 2-day
trainings were offered throughout the duration o4 the grant to attract more residents(Roe, K. & Bowser, B. i993).
Modeilo participants were primarily African-American, Hispanic-American antl White-American women between the
ages of 18-55. Most participants were on welfare, had less than a high school education, and were classified as
impoverished. Coliseum Gartlens only differed in relation to the ethnic origin of the participants which were primarily
African-American and Asian-American(Roe, K, & Bouiser, B. 1993).
in Modelio, as the residents 6ecame healthy ihey began to see the need for Heaith Realization in the schoois, They
noticetl that school staff viewed the Modeilo kids as troubfe makers, and they beli�ved that fhis affected their
children's attendance and performance (Bernard, 8.1996; 800throyd, P., & Ebede, M.1990; Cowen, E, L., & Work,
W. G.1988; Kumpfer, K. L., & Hopkins, R.1993; Pransky, G., Mills, R. G., Blevens, K., Sedgeman, J.1996; Rhodes,
J. E., & Jason, L. A. 1990). Miiis mei with staff and administrators to introducz them to the model. 7here was
substaniial interest, so staff classes met for 90 minutes, once a week for 10 weeks, for the duration of the program.
In Coliseum Gardens, schoal staff were tinvited to attend pareni empowerment dasses and were so impressed hy
the classes, and the health of the participants, that they had program staff ineet with schoo4 siaff and a class with the
same structure as Modello's schooi component was implemented(Roe, K. & Bowser. B. 1993). Schooi statf in both
focationswere primarilyAfrican-American, Hispanic-American, Asian-American and VVni;e-American women and men.
In the Modello and Coliseum Gardens youth program there were no 2-day courses irvolvetl. Classes were 60-90
minutes, once a week for ten weeks, for the duration of the granf. The ages of ihe children ranged from 12-18. The
racial mixture was comparabfe to the adult attendance. A worker, L1oyd Fieltls, was assigned part time to tne schoof,
to work with youth from Modello who goi into trouble. These ciasses,afso coniinued ior tne duration of fhe grant from
the date of implementation.

The folio�riing is an outiine for the comoonents of this grant. These shoufd be read with tne understanding that there
musi be room for flexibility as dictated by the participants needs and evaluation feedbzck. All classes wiii meei from
60-120 minuies, 1-3 times a week for 12 Nreeks, for the duration of t��e gran't. Stafi an� the parent outreach worker
will attend a 2-day workshop in addition to the weekiy classes. Other parenis and siudents wi!! have the option of
aitending these workshops. Afl classes tivill be voluntary in nature, even in the case o� ai-risk students. They uril( be

it wiff a(low for participanfs missing classes hecause of dai(y cha((enges, 3. all class2s vriii be held for a consistent
period of time in rela'tion fo changes of semesters during the school year. 4. clzsses wiii meet the educational

session so the school year is 45 v Stai classes will reflect ihe BTT and dDC schoof year, as wil4 the correction
p�renting classes. There are educational aids or fanguage transfators wiihin the ins!itui;ons.
One contiruos school and correction staif feadership ciass; and one paren't leadership ciass aaill both be conducted
during the life of the grant at ihe Juvenile Detention Center's training facility. Once tra:ned in Health Realization,
ieachers will teach Health Realization in the regular classrooms following the format of the peer lezdership program.
In the Modello and Coliseum Gardens Law Eniorcement participated in the Health Realization training of the sfaff and
residents Which makes common sense, seeing as they had the most authority over the residents. The Law
Enforcement component in this program wi�i be fhe corrections staff of Totem Town and Juvenile Defenfion. if, as
research suggests, a good relationship with parents, other adults, and peers, marked by warmth, and the absence
of severe crificism, can have a substantial protective effect against the tlevelopment oi later anti-sociai behavior
(Yoshikawa, Hirokazu 1995j, and; the most effective prevention programs that produce long term effects zre those
thataddress multiple risk factors, parents, schoof, and corrections (Yoshikawa, Hirokazu 1995), and; the most criticai
factors to be emphasized in prevention interventions for youth are: optimism, emoathy, self-eskeem, emotional
management and planning ski{4s (Kumpfer, K. L., & Hopkins, R. 1993), and; Health Realizat+on resilience t�aining
is a way to tlevelop these assets in al{ participants through a deeper understanding of psychological functioning or
focusing on resilience(8ernard, 8.1990, 1991, 1996, 1996a.; Pransky, G., Mii1s, R. C., Blevens, K., Sedgeman, J.
1996), tnen; teaching Health Realizatio� to parficipants wi11 create a substantiaf protective effect against the
development of later anti social behaviorsuch as delinquency, substance abuse, violence, and adult maiadjus'tment.
The `Closet Genius" or at-risk youth classes wi�l b° ofrered to kids at-risk for dropping out of school. If, as research
suggesis, the most critical factors io be emphasized in prevention interventions for at-risk youth are: optimism,
empathy, self-esteem, and life skills such as emotional management and planning skiils, and Health Realization
resilience iraining is a way to develop these assets through a deeper understanding of psychoiogical functioning or
iocusing on resilience, then; teaching at-risk youih Heaith Rezlization will allow them te experience a decrezse in
delinquency, substance abuse, violence, and aduli maladjustment.
The pees leadership dasses were not formaily parf of either the Modello or Coliseum Gardens program, but the
concepf is true to the Health Realization iocus on empowerment (Bernard, B.,1996;Prans�9, G., Mi!!s, R. C., Bievens,
K., Sedgeman, J. 1990}. If, as research suggests, peer leadership alfows students to assume the empowered role
oT mentor and role modei(Bernard, 8. 1996;Carr, ft. A. 19S8;Dishion, T. J., McCord, Joan, Poufin, Francois 1999),
and; at-risk youth are particuiarly vulnerabie to pezr aggregatio�s (Dishion, T. J., McCord, Joan. Poulin, Francois
19°9), and; the most criticaf fiactors to be emphasized in preveniion interventions for yeuth are: ooiimism, empaihy,
self-esteem, life skills such as emotional management and pianning skills(Kumpier, K. L.. & Hopkins, R. 1993), and;
peer ieaders trained in Health Realization wil! focus on those healthy factors or the re�:lience or ihe siudents and
building positive relationships with those students, then; a�-risk �outh will experience z decrease in delinquency,
substance abuse, violence, and adult maladjusfinent (Dishion, T. J., McCord, Joan, Pou!in, Francois 1999).
Parent or resident outreach workers svere part of both the Modello and Coliseum Garder. project( Bemard, B. 1990,
199oa.;Pransky, G., Mi44s, R. G., Blevens, K., Sedgeman, J.1996;Roe, K. & Bowser, B. i a93). They were invaluabie
as a means of getting other parents to ine Health Realiza6on classes, and keeping th�m involved. If, as research
Pa;e 9 of 2L
D�-I5�(
suggests, teaching Heaith Realization to participants will create a substantial protective effecf against the
development of lateranti social behaviorsuch as delinquency, substance abuse, violenc°, and adult maladjustment,
and; parent oufreach workers recruit more parents to atiend Health Rea(ization training, then; more parents wil!
create a su6stantial protective effecf against the development of later anti social behavior such zs delinquency,
substance abuse, violence, and adult maladjustmeni.
The best trainers are those thaf come out oi the communiiy being served( Bemard, B. 1990,19°6a.;Pransky, G.,
Mills, R. C., Blevens, K., Sedgeman, J. 1990). Staff members of 1he institufions who are trained as "Advanced
Trainers" in Nealth Realization will continue stafi, parent, aod student Healfh Reafization training, aci as consuVtants
fo staft, and insure that the program wil� be seif-sufricient and remain in operation afiter the expiration of the grant.
if siaff members of the institutions are trained as "Advanced 7rainers" in Health Realization, and; if, as research
suggests, teaching Health Realization to parficipants wili create a substantiai profective effect against the
developmentof later anti sociai behaviorsuch as delinquency, substance abuse, violence, and atlult maladjustment,
then; it is +mportant that the program become self-sufticient and �emain in-oQeration-a€�er. the expiratioFl oft+� grant.

The St. Paul Pofice Department has a hisiory of accomplishment in acquiring, managing, and effectively utilizir�g grant
funds..ln 1997, the department received a totai of �2,922,906 from 22 grants. In 1998, the total increased to
$3,103,651. Some of the awartls incfude: Juvenile Block Grant(DOJ, COPS Office); Grant to combine enforcement
and education in schools(�OJ, COPS O�ce); Law Enforcement Block Grant for systems update(BJA); Grant to
create paperiess records system(D0,1, COPS O�ce); School Sased Partnership Grant based on Health
Realization(QOJ, COPS Office); State and Federai Weed & Seetl Grants; A Community Outreach Program(ACOP)
grant to serve pubiic housing(PHA); Grant to establish an "Urban Lab" of Community Oriented Policing(DOJ, COPS
Oirice).
Grants awarded to th2 St. Paul Police Departmeni benefit from a manaqement team which oversees 700 fuli time
empioyees and a budget in excess ot $55,000,000. In addition, ihe department operates a Research and
Development Unit which ptovides specialized services for grant awarded projects. Th� unit is staifed by a Researc�
& Grants Manager, who oversees boin grant and normal operating costs, a Sergeant, Research Analysl,
Managesnent Assistant, Secretary, and the St. Paul Gun Violence Prevention Goordinator. The R&D Unit provides
expert assistance in fiscal management, writing, form preparation, evaluation, and crime analysis to other units
utilizing grant funds.
The evaluzfor wif{ be responsible for evaluation of the grant program �rrhich will include assisiing and guidmg
stakeholders in gathering data, cr2ating and conducfing process and summative evaluations, creating surveys.
drawing educated conclusions from the data, pubfishing the results of the evaluation, and any other duties that ar°
part of an evaluation process. The evaluator w11 be extemai to fhe program, and has not as yet been chosen. The
evaluator wilf be hired by March 1, 2000, which is the official starf of the prant. All pariners have numerous grants and
tnus have evaluation components in place. These same structures wouid be utdizetl with the understanding that they
would be subject to reiinements from an evaluaior experienced in a more rigorous scientific eva!uation process. The
participants themselves would provide the most assistance through meetings. The program coordinator would
supervise the olanning, collecting or analyzing tlata, report preparation, with the assistance of the anafyst in the
Po4ice DepartmenPs Research and Deveiopment unit, the sfeering committe�. Reflection and use of information from
ihe evaluaiion wouid be shared at reguiar particioant meetings, published and distributed throuoh the St. Paul Police
Department.

SPECIAL NOTE: Ruth Peckman of Open Schooi called the morning of �riday, October 29,1999 and said that after
further consideration, they did not feel comfortable with the 3 year commitment required by this grant. There was
concern that the grant put too great of a work foad on the staff. In light of these thoughts, they Niithdrew from the
proqram. However, the St. Paul Pubiic School Disirict remains a partner through the Boys Totem Town and Juvenile
Detention Center Pubiic Schools.

NARRATIVE
DEMOGRAPHiC AND NEEDS ASSESSMENT
In 1998, 188 juvensles were admif�ed to Boy's Tofem Town (BTT). The ethnic break down was 44.7°lo White, 37.2°l0
African American, 11.7°!o Asian, 4.3% Hispanic, 1.6% Native American, and .5% Other, Charges were prirsia��ly
felonies that ranged from aggravafed assault fo grand theft. Chemicai health assessments for aii admissions to BTT
have been completed since 1992. These assessments are compieted along guidelines of Rule 25 diagnostic and
placeme�tcriteria as used by Ramsey County Human Services. Overall results forover 1,650 assessments indicates
77% of ail admissions to BTT from 1992-1998 were assessed at risk, chemicalfy abusive, or chemically dependent.
For the period 19°6-199&, 8&°lo fit those categones. The frend for new admissions to BTT is totivard more serious
chemical abuse histories, Gvhich inciude significant chemical abuse grobiems within tneir families.
fn 1998, 2,667 kids were locked up in the Ramsey County Juvenile Qetention Center. The ethnic breakdown by
percentage was, 40% White, 37% African American,ll°lo Asian, 5°lo Hispanic, 4°lo Native American, and 3°!o Other.
2,200 were males and 467 were females. Some of the charges and the number arrested for those charges were;
assault 443, robbery 99, homicide 13, drugs 140, weapons 60, sex of�ense 36, kidnaping 6, violations ofi probation
450, and stolen cars 378. Their length of stay ranged from 1 day to 1 month, with an average of 6.6 days. JDC does
not currently have a drug assessment procedure or an alcohol, tobacco, and other drug prevention aAd intervention
program. The Superintendent, M+chaei Stevens says thaf, "Most of these kids begin to do better simply because they
stop using drugs while in detention. Kids are pretty open while in detention, so a program that addressed substance
abuse woufd be highly advantageous:'. Stevens roughiy estimates that 80% of the kids have some sort of ATOD use.
Most of the information for the needs assessment has been provided over the past tive years from focus groups,
indivitluaf interviews, and observations within the partner institufions. Pariicipanis included, but �r�ere not limited to,
youth from ages 3-17, parents from ages 14-7Q teachers, correction o�cers, CD counselors, attorneys, police
officers, psychologists, business owners, and social service providers. The participants have been diverse sociaily,
economicaliy, culturally, and educafionaliy. Participants in the on-going process seem to be best represented by the
demographic characteristics of the youth in the three partner insfitutions. The focus groups, interviews and
observations have been conducted or attended by Officer Ed Lemon. The needs assessment hzs been conducted
in As+an, African-American, Whike, Native indian, and Hispanic homes and i�stifutions i hese se+.:ings were private,
non-profit, govemment, community-focused, recreationa! centered, religious, and educationa( in nature. Numerous
interviews have been conducted in the greafer streets of St. Paul. By estimafion, the process inciuded approximaiely
15,OQ0 people.
More recently, to pian this grant, 8 focus groups were held with schoof and correction siaif, students, and parents oi
the three partner insiitutions. The major concems of the participants that they felt Healtn Realizaiion could address,
may be summarizetl as follows:
• Kids: getting adults to listen, gettirg adults to trust them, changina aduits bzhavior, how to de-escalate
conflict, managing anger, getting along aviih parents, how to overcome'being se(f-conscous.
� Adults: gang involvement and recruitment, getting kids and bosses to iisten, overcoming stress and burnout,
connecting with and motivating kids, changing kids 6ehavior, working with over active kids, getting along with
co-workers and the administration, keeping inner baiance, and managing wor;c loatl.

pubiic school students and 78% of adolescents in corrections admitted to using drugs. 28% of public school and 63%
of corrections kids admitted to being frequent users. Of the pu6fic school kids, 25°/o used marijuana, 8°lo LSD and
hailucinogens, 11°!o amphetamines, 8% prsscription drugs, 5% cocaine, 6°1a inhalants, 5% sedatives, and 7°!0
opiates. fn contrast, offhe kids in corre�fions 74%used marijuzna, 37% LSD and hallucinogens, 3o%amphefamines,
29°lo prescription drugs, 27°lo cocaine, 24°/o inhalants, 19°!o sedatives, and i6°/o opiates. Adolesce�ts in cor�eciions
in relation to adofescents in public schools were 2_ times more likely to use opiaies, 3 times more likely to use
marijuana and amphetamines, 3.5 times more IiRely to use other peop(e's prescripfion drugs, 4 times more likely to
use sedafives and inhalants, 4.5 times more likely'to use LSD or other halfucinogens, and 5 times more iikely to usa
cocaine. Kids in corrections ar2 4 times more likely to have tinjected drugs. Corrections kids are 4 times more likely
to be 2 drug users, and 5 times more likely to be 3 or more drug users.
1.5 fimes more adolescents in corrections use alcohol than adolescents in public school. Adolescents in corrections
are 2.5 times more likely than those in pub{i� school to tlrink more than 6 drinks at a sitting, and they are 3.5 times
mo�e likely to use alcohol & drugs befo�e o�during schooi. In relafion to the consequences oi sutistance a6use;the
average number of consequences during a year was 6.2 for adolescents in corrections vs 2.3 for those in public
school. More than haif of the adolescents in corrections reported indications oi impaired control oversubstance use:
needing more to get an effect, using more than intended, memory biackouts, and/or spending an entire day using
or recovering from the effects of using. 50°10 of adolescents in corrections repated social or vocational impairmenis
such as: legal problems re{ated to their use, driving after use, violent behaviorwhile using, job or school absenteeism,
and neglect of responsi6ilities. Familial rates of alcohol and drug abuse were 3 times higher among adolescents in
corrections than students in public schooi. In regards to tobacco use, 22% of adofescents in pubfic schoois and 58%
of adolescents in corrections admit to smoking on a daily basis. Of those, 8°!0 of public school kids and 36% of
corrections kids smoke more than one pack a day. In 1985, the Nationaf fnstitute on Drug Abuse stated that many
users among youth 12-17 are polydrug users. Of those that smoke cigarettes, 75°/o drink, 47% use marijuana, and
9°!o use cocaine. Of those who use a{cohol, 37°!o use masijuana, antl 60°10 smoke(p. 19-25)

in regartls to this initiative, the St Pau{ Police Department entered into a partnership with �rlichael Stevens znd
Juvenife Deten"tion Cent (JDC) in Oc'tober oi 1997 in the form oi the "First Time Detainee Program", which is funded
tnrough a Children, Families, & Learning grani. Throughout the program, JDC has supplied meeting space znd a
fuH time probation off�cer to supervise the kids. Ramsey Counfy voluntarily provided the 25°lomatching funds requ!red
by the grant. In the program, kitls a:tend cfasses in Heaith Realization twica a tiveek ior three months, while on
intensive supervised release. The kids are chosen in regards to the following criteria: first time detained in Juvenile
Detention Center, ages 12-18 years, enrolled in school, some evidence of pareni concem and invo(vement. To da.e.
65% of ihe kids have not re-offended. The 35% who did re-offend did not regulariy attend or complete the tra+n+ng.
Lemon also teaches in the Secured Unit, 1-3 hours a month.

�o-ts�
Since April of 1998, Lemon has been teaching Health Realization in two of the fhree communities of Boys Totem
Town. Each Community dedicated 1 hour, 2 days a week. Community 2 incfuded the generai population and
Community 3 limifed if to `Peer Group" participants. Frank Nosch said thaf initialiy he was sold on the program
because of the opportunityforthe kids and a poiice o�cer to interact positively, and Lemon s wiifingness to work �r�ith
the worst kids. He said that later, it was the impact af fhe training that impressed him. There are no formal statistics
avai4able on this program, afthough staff members and students constantly attest fo how much this undersfanding
has heiped them. Hosch aiso notes that one of their eva{uafion tools has shown a decrease in deviant behavio�, but
this cannot be directly attributed to this one program. Throughout tnis program, Totem Town has suppfied meeti�g
space, time, and assorfed program supplies.
In September of 1994, O�cer Lemon began a partnership wifh the St. Pau! Public School District. His firstexperience
was with acting teacherJan Mandel and several of her dasses with a Health Realization based program cailed "Cops
N' Kids". The program focused on teaching police and kids how to stay in or regain a common sense perspective to
de-escaiate confticf and sofve pro6lems. Afier a year, Children, Famifies, and Leamirg awarded a two year granf
to create a video tape a�d curriculum based on the Cops N' Kids concepk. There was no substantial evaluaiion
component, but the feedback from the atlult and youth participants was very favorab{e. The weakness of the program
lay in the lack ofconsistent Health Realization training of the participants. The finished product refiected a lack of true
understanding of the principies.
In September of 1997 Mr. Smafler of Centrai Nigh School invited temon in for a week to teach his Health class. The
kids liked the curriculum so much that Lemon stayed for six weeks, and only left after contracting a flu virus that kept
him out of work for three weeks. Since the class, Lemon has run into many of the students from Mr. Smaller's cfass
who have claimed that learning Health Realizakion has improved their relationships with friends, famify and students,
and ailowed them to maintain their common sense perspective in adversity. Onestudentwho tivas contacted in March.
1999 said that she had suffered from a terribie addiction to aicohoi and marijuana, and the understanding she gained
from Neaith Realization allowed her to stop using.
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
The col{aborative paRnershtip of the St Paul Public School Dtistrict, Ramsey County Juveniie Gorrections, and the St
Paul Police Qepartment want to impfement a consistent program of Alcohoi, Tobacco and Other Drug (ATOD}
prevention in Boy's Totem 7own, and the Juvenile Dstention Center. These institutions have a non-traditionaf pubiic
schooi component. The foundaYional intention of this program is to create relaiionship-focusetl institutions and
individuals who recognize the resilience wiihin themseives so fhat can recognize it +n every human being. ft is this
perspective that wiil create a warm, nurturing environment that will help promote empowerment or seff-actualization
of the participants, The vehicle used to help creste this environment is fo educate the stari members who interact with
8' thru 12` graders, the parents of 8 tnru 12 graders, and lhe students grades 8" thru 12`" in the modei of
psychological funcfroning kno�rm as Hea{th Realizatian (Ha} os Psychology of Mind (PONI), and then have them apply
th+s understanding to their every day lives. The understanding gained 'through this etlucation wi{I al{ow participants
to function at a more healthy leve{ of cogniiion. Th+s level of cogni�ion will insulate them from participating in healih
dzmaging behaviors. By the completion of the granf, the modei wiii become pari oi the goveming phi(osophy of the
three institutions in the form of aduit and peer leadership, a daily school curriculum, and a model of in-house
prevention for poorschool performance, truancy, incidents of schooi tliscioline and suspensior, school drop-out, and
alcohol, tobacco, and otherdrug use. Health Realization directly fost2rs the healthy independent, mature, productive
side of people's psychological makeup ratherthan consuming fime and energy battling pathology and keeping people
focused on their dysfunctional thinking. Such a contribution leads to more efifective us2 of resources. At the end of
this grant, Health Realization wiil 6ecome part of the partner institutions, and therefore tne program wifl become self-

sustaining.
Currently th2re is a permanent Health Realization trzining component in both Boys i otem Town(STT� and Juvenile
D2terrtion(JDC). There has been an inconsistent Health Realizafion training componenf in the public school district
for the last 3 years. Curr2ntly, ali institutions but Juvenile Detention have some form of prevention and intervention
modef in place. S'tnce Health Realization wilf enhanc2 the participants undersfanding of how people tru{y function
psychologically via the principle of thought, the other models must become more effective. In addition, Fleaith
ftealization wili creaie a consistent conceptual iramework of prevenfion and inferveniion within and across the
insiitutions themselves, wh+le creafing a climate of �r�armth and respect.
An estimate of fhe number of parficipants in the three year grant program is: 25 public schoo{ staff, 60 corrections
sta�fi, 75 parenks, 400 kids in Boys Totem 7own, and 1,500 kids i� Juvenile Detention. The figures for the parerits and
students are based roughly on the year{y attentlance and turn-over of students wifnin the three institutions. All of the
-.. °.- ----
pragram act�vities �rill run for tk�e d�ration of the grant except the 2-day workshops and the Advanceif �ra�ier of °`
Trainers course which wiil have specific iime iines. The basic activities are as foiiows:
• School and correction staff training: staff who volunteer will receive Health Realization training. Fram this
understanding of psychological functioning staff wiil teach, mentor, guide, discip(ine, etc. Representatives
of the staff will also sit on the grant steering committee, and assist in bringing the program to the greater
school district and correctionai institutions.
• Parent Leatlership Program: parenis who volunteer will receive Health Realization training and then parent
and lead from this understanding of psychological functioning. A parent outreach worker will be hired to
reauit parents and keep them engaged in ihe program. Parent representafives wili afso serve an the grant
steering committee, and assist in brinaing the program to the greater schoo! district and correctional
institutions.
• Student Training: teachers who volunteer to be trained 'rn Health Realization, will teach Health Realizafion
within their daily classes with 8th-12th grade students.
• Cfoset Genius Program: stutlents who volun;eer and are at-risk because of attentlance, tlisruptive behavior,
discipline, or running away from a correciional facility will be trained in Heaith Realization.
• Peer Leadership Program: students who volunteerwi(i receive Heaith Realizatio� training and then wiif assist
in the "Closet Genius" (at-risk}dassroom, and later in standard classrooms. Student representatives will afso
sit on the grant steering committee, and assist in bringing the program to the greater school district and
correctional instiiutions.
• Advanced Training of Tra+ners Program: 12 schaol or correction staff w�no volu�teer wili be trained as
Advanced Health Realization trainers. Schoof and correction staff aviif take over aff 'training components by
the end of the grant period. Adva�ced Trainers will act as consu{tants in the fogic and teach on-going staff,
parent, and student ciasses.
Beys Totem Town(BTT) is a 4-12 month res+deniial, correct+onal;ac1ity fosup to 65 adolescent boys who have been
adjudicated delinquent by Juvenile Cour±. BTT has 15 St Paul Pubiic School stafi, and 70 correction sfafi members.
Tne iacility is locaietl in the Battle Creek area of Si. Paul. The program is comprised of three residential communiiies
or :-eaimeni units, each provid+ng a level based, open-ended program �+rhere a residents feng!h of stay depends on
his advanc°ment through the levei system. Eacn communiiy has a trea"tment team composed oi a unit superviser,
a caseworker, and a teacher o� case manager. The role of the tseztment team is to evaluate a resident's performance.
Th� team gives feedback to a resident and makes decisions on level changes and disciplinary matfers. The program
op�rates under the program cal{ed PEARS; Personai Effort and Responsibility System. li is highly struckured, can
be confrontatianal, but a program thatcontinua(ly reiniorces positive and appropriate behaviors. i ne primary purpose

of this program is to focus the attention of bofh staff and residenfs on behavior
The Totem Town program provides numerous support services fo residents in placement. The St. Pau{ Schooi District
provides a complete educational program. The educational program is sta;fed by special education teachers who
dzvelop individual leaming plans to meet the varying needs of tne students. Psychological tesiing and evafuation,
medica! assessments and care, casework services, daity peergroups, weekly family groups, �r�eekly support groups
and iniormational seminars are exampies oi services provided to a resident during his siay. Res+dents aiso have the
opportunity to become involved wifh numerous community agencies who provide programming and suppori groups
af Totem Torrrn.
The Ramsey County Juvenile Detention Center{J�C) serves juveniles 1 Q to 18 years of �ge. JDC has 1 � St Paui
Public School staff, and 70 correction staff inembers. Juveniles are detained for serious law violations and when
there is reason fo believe: they woufd endanger themselves or others; they wouid noi want to return for a court
hearing; they would nof remain in the care and of their parents; or theis heafth znd welfare is in•immediate
danger. The length ofi stay fiaiis into three categories; next day release, a week stay after pfeatling guiity to the
offense, and 30 days awaiting trial. An exception would be an adolescent awaiting to be certified as an adult. This
stay couitl exceed the 30 day period. The Detention Center's mission is to hefp protect the community by ensuring
that juven+les placed in custody remain in a safe and secure environment until the Juvenile Court decides on an
altemative piacement. JDC does not currently have a drug assessment procedure or an alcohol, tobacco, and other
drug prevention and intervention program. Psychologicai and chemicai assessments musibe courtordered, but there
are questions related to use in both tne atlm'rttance procedure and the health screening. "
The St Paul Schooi District#625 provides a strong educat+onal program to detainedjuveniles. Students are separated
into two groups, Junior High and Senior Nigh. In 1998, ii included a regular schoof program plus ten weeks of summer
school:
477 Students attended fhe regufar school program in the 1997-1998 school year,
121 were special education students;
185 were schoof drop outs;
240 students attended the summer school session.
This program wi(f be a combination of Universal and Se!ective types oi in!ervention. The program is Universa{
because it offers training in the model ta ali 8'" -12' grade s?udents and their parents, and all school and corrections
staff, without regard to risk factors for ATOD use. it is Sele�tive in the sense that rt targeis 8th-12th graders U�ho are
identified as at-risk for dropping out of school antl ATQD use.
TIE TO RESEARCH AND SCIENCE
The theary of prevention in this program is known as Healtn Realization or Psychology of Mind. Heafth Reafizatior
is foremost a modei of resilience that uses tne terms inn2te hea{th or unconditioned state of mind in its stead. I:
recognizes that all peopie, regardless oi theirdemograpnic cnaracteris;ics, current circumstarces, past experiences,
or fevef of educatron have the capacity to (unction in a healthy, stab{e mannec Thai in �„y given moment a!I peop(�
are capable of deariy seeing tneir circumstances and �indirg solutions to daily chailenges.
Leadership training and empowerment ciasses in this procram are a0 based on pinpoin2ng the source of alienatior�,
drug abuse, and violence in peopie's leamed habits of thinking. The training process staris with the HR trainers
listening to understand the kinds of problems, issues, anc stresses that se�m immu�aole and criticai to ihe targei
Page � of 2 i
oC� -t5q
audience-issues that they wouid nof recagnize as the+rown thinking. The educationaf formatof s11 Health Realization
training in this psogram is designed fo (a) help peop4e both identify and then recognize their seif-defeating thoughfs
as merely learned habits of fhinking and perception; (b) he(p them understand the difference between Qercepfions
and feelings generated by these thougMs and clearer perceptions resulting from tneir heafthy, common sense, here-
and-now thinking; (c) heip tnem recognize the vaiue of not acting on these leamed paitems of fhinking; and (d) heip
them see how to trust in their capacity to regain access io a healihier v2ntage point before acting or attempting to
address problems or situations to which they might oiherwise have reac"ted negative{y irom conditioned membries.
This is why there is little attention paid to demographic characteristics of ihe target audience, and so much success
has been realized in the racia4ly div2rse communiiies that have implemented Heaifh Realization and other resi(ience
modeis. Resilience is the same in any culiure, and at any age. (n this impersonal sense ave are afl the same(Bernard,
B.,1996; Boothroyd, P., & Eberle, M. 1990; Cowen, E. L., & Work, W. C. ]988; Kumpfier, K. L., & Hopkins, R. 1993;
Pransky, G., PAills, R. C., Blevens, K., Sedgeman, J. 1990; Werner & Smith, 1982, pp. 202).
_ - The underlying assumption of this theory is that everyone is cansfantly c�eafsng and re-creaiing their reality moment
to moment using their thinking(Bandura, A. 1989,1990; Bernard, B., 19°6, 1996a.; Beck, 1976; Pransky, G., Mills,
R. C., Blevens, K., Sedgeman, J. 1996; Shantz, 1975). Realizing this is the uitimate form of empowerment. Once
people recognize the role of thought to this dzpth not onfy do they change, but they create a process of change that's
on-going(Bernard, B., 1996).From the principle of thoughi come these basic assumptions:
1. There are two modes of thinking, conditioned or pzrsonal and unconditioned or impersonal( Maslow, A. H.
1973, pp. 254; Pransky, G., Miffs, R. C., 8levens, K., Sedgeman, J. 1996).
a. The state of mind known as conditioned thinking is experienced when analyzing or aciive{y
manipufating our thaughts to process and draw conclusions. This is referred to as "closed minded"
because if misused we limit ourseives to the information stored in our memory. (f we lisken whife
analyzing we wiil quickfy draw conclusions. and classify new informatior� according to our
conditioned thought process.
b. The state of mind known as uncondiiioned thinking is experienced when we relax our own ability to
anatyze. it is the default setting of our mind. This sta�e of mind has access to memory, but in a
bigger picture, less threafening perspective. This state of mind is known as resi!ience. if is a hea4thy,
uncontam+nated thought process tnaf is �he source of wisdom, common s�nse self-esteem, and
insight. This thought process a(4ows us to see life differently than through �vhai we already kno�u
(Bernard, B., 199�, 1991,1996, 199fia; Maslow, A. H. 1973, pp. 254; Pransky, G., Mills, R. C,
Blevens, K., Sedgeman, J. 1996).
Regardiess of their current state of inentai functicning, aff people have the same innate caoacity for healthy
psychological functioni�g(Bemard, 8.1990, 1991,1996,1996a.; Boothroyd, P„ & Eoerie, M.1990; Cowen,
E. L., & Work, W. C. 1988; Pransky, G., Mi;is, R. C., Blevens, K., Sedgeman, J. 199�; Rhodes, ,!. E., &
Jason, L. A. 1990; Wesner & Smith, 1982, pp. 202).
lnsight is a thought that comes from ou'tside of our already tormed infellec't, and therefore our memories or
way of see+ng 4iie (Mahrer, A. R. ,& Nadler, ��a'. P. 1986; Maslo�rr, A. H. 1973;Prarsky, G., Milis, R. C.,
Blevens, K., Sedgeman, J. 1996 j. An insight comes when in an unconditioned stat� of mind (Maslow, A H

seem valid or important. Insignt acts as a psychologicai penicillin to heal the mem�ories of past tsaumatic

8owser, B. 1993):
Motlello Housing Project, Hcmestead, FL. Afterthree years, out of the 150 families and o5� youth who were served;
• households seliing drugs went from 65% to less than 20°!0,
• the overali crime rafe went down 70-80%,
• teen pregnancy wenf from 50°/a+ to 10%,
• school drop out rafes went from 60% to 10%,

school absenteeism and truancy went from 65% to negligible,
parent unemployment rafe went from 85°la to 35°l0.
Coliseum Gardens Housing Project, Oakland, CA. fn 1991, Qakland had the fourth hignesthomicide rate in the United
SEates. Cofiseum Gardens had a homicide rate eleven times higher than the c+ty avesage. After oneyear,---
• 100% decrease in homicides, first homicide occurred in August, 1999 and ditl not invoive residents,
• other violent crimes reduced by 45°l0,
� drug possession and sale reduced by 16°10,
• assaults with firearms reduced by 38°/o,
• youth attendance and invoivement with Boys antl Girls Club increased 110%,
• gang warfare and ethnic cfashes between Cambodian and African American youth ceased.
Environmental Protective Factors
Noteo as the environmental factor in this program are the parents, school and ccrreciion staff, peer leaders and
students within the thrze institutions. Research impiies that the most effective prevention programs that produce {ong
term effects are those that address muftipie risk factors, parents, school, corrections (Yoshikawa, Hirokazu 1995}.
Research also suggests that family, social support, and relationships are influenfial factoss in fostering resilience in
youth(Boothroyd, P., & Eberfe, M. 1990; Cowe�, E. L., & Work, W. C. 1988; Rhodes, J. E., & Jason, L. �+. 1990).
7hese relationships, when marked by warmth, and the absence of severe criticism, can have a su6stantial protective
effect against the tlevefopment of later anfi-social behavior (Yoshikawa, Hirokazu 1995). This warmth and lack of
severe criticism could be referred to as psychological wellness or resilience or innate mentai health. Research shows
thai the concepfs of competency, resi{ience, and empowerment can enhance psychological weliness (Boothroyd, P.,
& Eberle, M.199Q;Cowen, E. L 1991; Cowen, E. L., & Work, W. C.1988; Rhodes, J. E., & Jason, L. A.1990�. Heaith
Reafization teaches participants abouf innate resilience, how to access this sfate of resilience, and the role thal
thought plays in determining personai reality. It is a motlel of competency, resilience, and empowerment.
lndividual Protective Factor
Research implies that some of the most critical f actors to be emphasized in addiction prevention interveniions �or
youtn are optimism, empathy, self-esteem and life skifis sucn as emotional management and planning skills (Kumpier,
K. L., & Nopk+ns, R, 1993). Health Realization(HRJ teaches paricipanis that the source of optimism, empaihy, and
self-esteem is an unconditional state of mind kno��vn as innate health or resilience. HR ih2n teaches participants houv
to gain access to innate hea(th and make wefi pfanned decisions from this wiser perspective. Health Realization
recognizes that emotion in its most basic form is thought.'Nhen participants understand this, they leam te manage
their emotions by changing their thinking. Heaith Realization contains factors and skiils that research has suggested
are some of the most critical to addiction prevention interizntions.

fVfodeflo and Coliseum Garden Program
The program is modeled afterfhe Modello and CoViseum Gardens projects. In both PAodello and Coliseum Gardens,
ciasses in Heaiih Reatization were heid for school stafi, students, at-risk kids, parents, and program staff. The weekl�
ciasses had a common formai, and usually preceded orfoliowed a 2-5 dzyworkshop. Ciasses were 90-120 m'inufes,
once-t�rice a week for 9-10 weeks. The size ofi fhe ciasses fluctuated between 2-30 paricipants. Once impiemented,
fhe ciasses would run for the duraiion of the gra�t. The workshops woufd continue throughout the iife of the program
to introduce residents and service providers to the modef of community empowerment. The classes were voluntary
and were struciured like a social event serving refreshmenis and allowing open discussion. 7he average amount of
train+ng Nras 36-40 hours. The central focus of the classes was resiliency or innate health.
In Modello, the parent or resident empowerment classes wese conducted for 2 hours, once a week for 9 weeks, for
the duration of fhe program. These ciasses were fol{owed by a 5-day train+ng for residents who attended the 9 weeks
- -- -- - -
-—- of dasses and were hired as outreach wotkers. In CoTseum'�a�dens, there was arr iniii�l 2-daytraining;fioflowed �p'
by ciasses for 1.5 hours, once a week for 10 weeks, for the duration of the grant. {n Co{iseum Gardens, the 2-day
trainings were offered throughout the duration o4 the grant to attract more residents(Roe, K. & Bowser, B. i993).
Modeilo participants were primarily African-American, Hispanic-American antl White-American women between the
ages of 18-55. Most participants were on welfare, had less than a high school education, and were classified as
impoverished. Coliseum Gartlens only differed in relation to the ethnic origin of the participants which were primarily
African-American and Asian-American(Roe, K, & Bouiser, B. 1993).
in Modelio, as the residents 6ecame healthy ihey began to see the need for Heaith Realization in the schoois, They
noticetl that school staff viewed the Modeilo kids as troubfe makers, and they beli�ved that fhis affected their
children's attendance and performance (Bernard, 8.1996; 800throyd, P., & Ebede, M.1990; Cowen, E, L., & Work,
W. G.1988; Kumpfer, K. L., & Hopkins, R.1993; Pransky, G., Mills, R. G., Blevens, K., Sedgeman, J.1996; Rhodes,
J. E., & Jason, L. A. 1990). Miiis mei with staff and administrators to introducz them to the model. 7here was
substaniial interest, so staff classes met for 90 minutes, once a week for 10 weeks, for the duration of the program.
In Coliseum Gardens, schoal staff were tinvited to attend pareni empowerment dasses and were so impressed hy
the classes, and the health of the participants, that they had program staff ineet with schoo4 siaff and a class with the
same structure as Modello's schooi component was implemented(Roe, K. & Bowser. B. 1993). Schooi statf in both
focationswere primarilyAfrican-American, Hispanic-American, Asian-American and VVni;e-American women and men.
In the Modello and Coliseum Gardens youth program there were no 2-day courses irvolvetl. Classes were 60-90
minutes, once a week for ten weeks, for the duration of the granf. The ages of ihe children ranged from 12-18. The
racial mixture was comparabfe to the adult attendance. A worker, L1oyd Fieltls, was assigned part time to tne schoof,
to work with youth from Modello who goi into trouble. These ciasses,afso coniinued ior tne duration of fhe grant from
the date of implementation.
St. Paul Public Schooi Dlstrict-Totem Town-JDC-St, Paul Police Program
The folio�riing is an outiine for the comoonents of this grant. These shoufd be read with tne understanding that there
musi be room for flexibility as dictated by the participants needs and evaluation feedbzck. All classes wiii meei from
60-120 minuies, 1-3 times a week for 12 Nreeks, for the duration of t��e gran't. Stafi an� the parent outreach worker
will attend a 2-day workshop in addition to the weekiy classes. Other parenis and siudents wi!! have the option of
aitending these workshops. Afl classes tivill be voluntary in nature, even in the case o� ai-risk students. They uril( be
give� the option of ihe cfasses in lieu oi aiready prescribed sanctions. Remembering i�at the infention is for Healin
Realization to become part of the reguiar school district curriculum, the frequency and fength of the classes were

Modello and Coliseum Gardens, buf the advantages will be 1. students receive full school credit for attendance, 2.

period of time in rela'tion fo changes of semesters during the school year. 4. clzsses wiii meet the educational
requirements af the school district. In Boys Totem � own(BTT) and Juvenile Detenfion{JDC) there is a summerschool
session so the school year is 45 v Stai classes will reflect ihe BTT and dDC schoof year, as wil4 the correction
p�renting classes. There are educational aids or fanguage transfators wiihin the ins!itui;ons.
One contiruos school and correction staif feadership ciass; and one paren't leadership ciass aaill both be conducted
during the life of the grant at ihe Juvenile Detention Center's training facility. Once tra:ned in Health Realization,
ieachers will teach Health Realization in the regular classrooms following the format of the peer lezdership program.
In the Modello and Coliseum Gardens Law Eniorcement participated in the Health Realization training of the sfaff and
residents Which makes common sense, seeing as they had the most authority over the residents. The Law
Enforcement component in this program wi�i be fhe corrections staff of Totem Town and Juvenile Defenfion. if, as
research suggests, a good relationship with parents, other adults, and peers, marked by warmth, and the absence
of severe crificism, can have a substantial protective effect against the tlevelopment oi later anti-sociai behavior
(Yoshikawa, Hirokazu 1995j, and; the most effective prevention programs that produce long term effects zre those
thataddress multiple risk factors, parents, schoof, and corrections (Yoshikawa, Hirokazu 1995), and; the most criticai
factors to be emphasized in prevention interventions for youth are: optimism, emoathy, self-eskeem, emotional
management and planning ski{4s (Kumpfer, K. L., & Hopkins, R. 1993), and; Health Realizat+on resilience t�aining
is a way to tlevelop these assets in al{ participants through a deeper understanding of psychological functioning or
focusing on resilience(8ernard, 8.1990, 1991, 1996, 1996a.; Pransky, G., Mii1s, R. C., Blevens, K., Sedgeman, J.
1996), tnen; teaching Health Realizatio� to parficipants wi11 create a substantiaf protective effect against the
development of later anti social behaviorsuch as delinquency, substance abuse, violence, and adult maiadjus'tment.
The `Closet Genius" or at-risk youth classes wi�l b° ofrered to kids at-risk for dropping out of school. If, as research
suggesis, the most critical factors io be emphasized in prevention interventions for at-risk youth are: optimism,
empathy, self-esteem, and life skills such as emotional management and planning skiils, and Health Realization
resilience iraining is a way to develop these assets through a deeper understanding of psychoiogical functioning or
iocusing on resilience, then; teaching at-risk youih Heaith Rezlization will allow them te experience a decrezse in
delinquency, substance abuse, violence, and aduli maladjustment.
The pees leadership dasses were not formaily parf of either the Modello or Coliseum Gardens program, but the
concepf is true to the Health Realization iocus on empowerment (Bernard, B.,1996;Prans�9, G., Mi!!s, R. C., Bievens,
K., Sedgeman, J. 1990}. If, as research suggests, peer leadership alfows students to assume the empowered role
oT mentor and role modei(Bernard, 8. 1996;Carr, ft. A. 19S8;Dishion, T. J., McCord, Joan, Poufin, Francois 1999),
and; at-risk youth are particuiarly vulnerabie to pezr aggregatio�s (Dishion, T. J., McCord, Joan. Poulin, Francois
19°9), and; the most criticaf fiactors to be emphasized in preveniion interventions for yeuth are: ooiimism, empaihy,
self-esteem, life skills such as emotional management and pianning skills(Kumpier, K. L.. & Hopkins, R. 1993), and;
peer ieaders trained in Health Realization wil! focus on those healthy factors or the re�:lience or ihe siudents and
building positive relationships with those students, then; a�-risk �outh will experience z decrease in delinquency,
substance abuse, violence, and adult maladjusfinent (Dishion, T. J., McCord, Joan, Pou!in, Francois 1999).
Parent or resident outreach workers svere part of both the Modello and Coliseum Garder. project( Bemard, B. 1990,
199oa.;Pransky, G., Mi44s, R. G., Blevens, K., Sedgeman, J.1996;Roe, K. & Bowser, B. i a93). They were invaluabie
as a means of getting other parents to ine Health Realiza6on classes, and keeping th�m involved. If, as research

suggests, teaching Heaith Realization to participants will create a substantial protective effecf against the
development of lateranti social behaviorsuch as delinquency, substance abuse, violenc°, and adult maladjustment,
and; parent oufreach workers recruit more parents to atiend Health Rea(ization training, then; more parents wil!
create a su6stantial protective effecf against the development of later anti social behavior such zs delinquency,
substance abuse, violence, and adult maladjustmeni.
The best trainers are those thaf come out oi the communiiy being served( Bemard, B. 1990,19°6a.;Pransky, G.,
Mills, R. C., Blevens, K., Sedgeman, J. 1990). Staff members of 1he institufions who are trained as "Advanced
Trainers" in Nealth Realization will continue stafi, parent, aod student Healfh Reafization training, aci as consuVtants
fo staft, and insure that the program wil� be seif-sufricient and remain in operation afiter the expiration of the grant.
if siaff members of the institutions are trained as "Advanced 7rainers" in Health Realization, and; if, as research
suggests, teaching Health Realization to parficipants wili create a substantiai profective effect against the
developmentof later anti sociai behaviorsuch as delinquency, substance abuse, violence, and atlult maladjustment,
then; it is +mportant that the program become self-sufticient and �emain in-oQeration-a€�er. the expiratioFl oft+� grant.

inferventions for at-risk youth are: optimism, empathy, self-esteem, life skills, emotional management and

create a substantial protective effecf against the deve4opment of later ��ti social behavior such as
delinquency, substance abuse, violence, and adult maladjustment, and; p arznt outreach workers recruii
more parents to attend Health Realization training, then; more parents will create a substantia! protective
effect against the development oi later anti sociaf behavior such as delinquenc�i, substan�e abuse, viofence,
and adult maladjustment.
ADVANCED TRA1NiNG OF TftAiNERS PROGRAM: If staff inembers of ihe institutions are trained as

NARRATIVE
DEMOGRAPHiC AND NEEDS ASSESSMENT
In 1998, 188 juvensles were admif�ed to Boy's Tofem Town (BTT). The ethnic break down was 44.7°lo White, 37.2°l0
African American, 11.7°!o Asian, 4.3% Hispanic, 1.6% Native American, and .5% Other, Charges were prirsia��ly
felonies that ranged from aggravafed assault fo grand theft. Chemicai health assessments for aii admissions to BTT
have been completed since 1992. These assessments are compieted along guidelines of Rule 25 diagnostic and
placeme�tcriteria as used by Ramsey County Human Services. Overall results forover 1,650 assessments indicates
77% of ail admissions to BTT from 1992-1998 were assessed at risk, chemicalfy abusive, or chemically dependent.
For the period 19°6-199&, 8&°lo fit those categones. The frend for new admissions to BTT is totivard more serious
chemical abuse histories, Gvhich inciude significant chemical abuse grobiems within tneir families.
fn 1998, 2,667 kids were locked up in the Ramsey County Juvenile Qetention Center. The ethnic breakdown by
percentage was, 40% White, 37% African American,ll°lo Asian, 5°lo Hispanic, 4°lo Native American, and 3°!o Other.
2,200 were males and 467 were females. Some of the charges and the number arrested for those charges were;
assault 443, robbery 99, homicide 13, drugs 140, weapons 60, sex of�ense 36, kidnaping 6, violations ofi probation
450, and stolen cars 378. Their length of stay ranged from 1 day to 1 month, with an average of 6.6 days. JDC does
not currently have a drug assessment procedure or an alcohol, tobacco, and other drug prevention aAd intervention
program. The Superintendent, M+chaei Stevens says thaf, "Most of these kids begin to do better simply because they
stop using drugs while in detention. Kids are pretty open while in detention, so a program that addressed substance
abuse woufd be highly advantageous:'. Stevens roughiy estimates that 80% of the kids have some sort of ATOD use.
Most of the information for the needs assessment has been provided over the past tive years from focus groups,
indivitluaf interviews, and observations within the partner institufions. Pariicipanis included, but �r�ere not limited to,
youth from ages 3-17, parents from ages 14-7Q teachers, correction o�cers, CD counselors, attorneys, police
officers, psychologists, business owners, and social service providers. The participants have been diverse sociaily,
economicaliy, culturally, and educafionaliy. Participants in the on-going process seem to be best represented by the
demographic characteristics of the youth in the three partner insfitutions. The focus groups, interviews and
observations have been conducted or attended by Officer Ed Lemon. The needs assessment hzs been conducted
in As+an, African-American, Whike, Native indian, and Hispanic homes and i�stifutions i hese se+.:ings were private,
non-profit, govemment, community-focused, recreationa! centered, religious, and educationa( in nature. Numerous
interviews have been conducted in the greafer streets of St. Paul. By estimafion, the process inciuded approximaiely
15,OQ0 people.
More recently, to pian this grant, 8 focus groups were held with schoof and correction siaif, students, and parents oi
the three partner insiitutions. The major concems of the participants that they felt Healtn Realizaiion could address,
may be summarizetl as follows:
• Kids: getting adults to listen, gettirg adults to trust them, changina aduits bzhavior, how to de-escalate
conflict, managing anger, getting along aviih parents, how to overcome'being se(f-conscous.
� Adults: gang involvement and recruitment, getting kids and bosses to iisten, overcoming stress and burnout,
connecting with and motivating kids, changing kids 6ehavior, working with over active kids, getting along with
co-workers and the administration, keeping inner baiance, and managing wor;c loatl.

pubiic school students and 78% of adolescents in corrections admitted to using drugs. 28% of public school and 63%
of corrections kids admitted to being frequent users. Of the pu6fic school kids, 25°/o used marijuana, 8°lo LSD and
hailucinogens, 11°!o amphetamines, 8% prsscription drugs, 5% cocaine, 6°1a inhalants, 5% sedatives, and 7°!0
opiates. fn contrast, offhe kids in corre�fions 74%used marijuzna, 37% LSD and hallucinogens, 3o%amphefamines,
29°lo prescription drugs, 27°lo cocaine, 24°/o inhalants, 19°!o sedatives, and i6°/o opiates. Adolesce�ts in cor�eciions
in relation to adofescents in public schools were 2_ times more likely to use opiaies, 3 times more likely to use
marijuana and amphetamines, 3.5 times more IiRely to use other peop(e's prescripfion drugs, 4 times more likely to
use sedafives and inhalants, 4.5 times more likely'to use LSD or other halfucinogens, and 5 times more iikely to usa
cocaine. Kids in corrections ar2 4 times more likely to have tinjected drugs. Corrections kids are 4 times more likely
to be 2 drug users, and 5 times more likely to be 3 or more drug users.
1.5 fimes more adolescents in corrections use alcohol than adolescents in public school. Adolescents in corrections
are 2.5 times more likely than those in pub{i� school to tlrink more than 6 drinks at a sitting, and they are 3.5 times
mo�e likely to use alcohol & drugs befo�e o�during schooi. In relafion to the consequences oi sutistance a6use;the
average number of consequences during a year was 6.2 for adolescents in corrections vs 2.3 for those in public
school. More than haif of the adolescents in corrections reported indications oi impaired control oversubstance use:
needing more to get an effect, using more than intended, memory biackouts, and/or spending an entire day using
or recovering from the effects of using. 50°10 of adolescents in corrections repated social or vocational impairmenis
such as: legal problems re{ated to their use, driving after use, violent behaviorwhile using, job or school absenteeism,
and neglect of responsi6ilities. Familial rates of alcohol and drug abuse were 3 times higher among adolescents in
corrections than students in public schooi. In regards to tobacco use, 22% of adofescents in pubfic schoois and 58%
of adolescents in corrections admit to smoking on a daily basis. Of those, 8°!0 of public school kids and 36% of
corrections kids smoke more than one pack a day. In 1985, the Nationaf fnstitute on Drug Abuse stated that many
users among youth 12-17 are polydrug users. Of those that smoke cigarettes, 75°/o drink, 47% use marijuana, and
9°!o use cocaine. Of those who use a{cohol, 37°!o use masijuana, antl 60°10 smoke(p. 19-25)

in regartls to this initiative, the St Pau{ Police Department entered into a partnership with �rlichael Stevens znd
Juvenife Deten"tion Cent (JDC) in Oc'tober oi 1997 in the form oi the "First Time Detainee Program", which is funded
tnrough a Children, Families, & Learning grani. Throughout the program, JDC has supplied meeting space znd a
fuH time probation off�cer to supervise the kids. Ramsey Counfy voluntarily provided the 25°lomatching funds requ!red
by the grant. In the program, kitls a:tend cfasses in Heaith Realization twica a tiveek ior three months, while on
intensive supervised release. The kids are chosen in regards to the following criteria: first time detained in Juvenile
Detention Center, ages 12-18 years, enrolled in school, some evidence of pareni concem and invo(vement. To da.e.
65% of ihe kids have not re-offended. The 35% who did re-offend did not regulariy attend or complete the tra+n+ng.
Lemon also teaches in the Secured Unit, 1-3 hours a month.

�o-ts�
Since April of 1998, Lemon has been teaching Health Realization in two of the fhree communities of Boys Totem
Town. Each Community dedicated 1 hour, 2 days a week. Community 2 incfuded the generai population and
Community 3 limifed if to `Peer Group" participants. Frank Nosch said thaf initialiy he was sold on the program
because of the opportunityforthe kids and a poiice o�cer to interact positively, and Lemon s wiifingness to work �r�ith
the worst kids. He said that later, it was the impact af fhe training that impressed him. There are no formal statistics
avai4able on this program, afthough staff members and students constantly attest fo how much this undersfanding
has heiped them. Hosch aiso notes that one of their eva{uafion tools has shown a decrease in deviant behavio�, but
this cannot be directly attributed to this one program. Throughout tnis program, Totem Town has suppfied meeti�g
space, time, and assorfed program supplies.
In September of 1994, O�cer Lemon began a partnership wifh the St. Pau! Public School District. His firstexperience
was with acting teacherJan Mandel and several of her dasses with a Health Realization based program cailed "Cops
N' Kids". The program focused on teaching police and kids how to stay in or regain a common sense perspective to
de-escaiate confticf and sofve pro6lems. Afier a year, Children, Famifies, and Leamirg awarded a two year granf
to create a video tape a�d curriculum based on the Cops N' Kids concepk. There was no substantial evaluaiion
component, but the feedback from the atlult and youth participants was very favorab{e. The weakness of the program
lay in the lack ofconsistent Health Realization training of the participants. The finished product refiected a lack of true
understanding of the principies.
In September of 1997 Mr. Smafler of Centrai Nigh School invited temon in for a week to teach his Health class. The
kids liked the curriculum so much that Lemon stayed for six weeks, and only left after contracting a flu virus that kept
him out of work for three weeks. Since the class, Lemon has run into many of the students from Mr. Smaller's cfass
who have claimed that learning Health Realizakion has improved their relationships with friends, famify and students,
and ailowed them to maintain their common sense perspective in adversity. Onestudentwho tivas contacted in March.
1999 said that she had suffered from a terribie addiction to aicohoi and marijuana, and the understanding she gained
from Neaith Realization allowed her to stop using.
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
The col{aborative paRnershtip of the St Paul Public School Dtistrict, Ramsey County Juveniie Gorrections, and the St
Paul Police Qepartment want to impfement a consistent program of Alcohoi, Tobacco and Other Drug (ATOD}
prevention in Boy's Totem 7own, and the Juvenile Dstention Center. These institutions have a non-traditionaf pubiic
schooi component. The foundaYional intention of this program is to create relaiionship-focusetl institutions and
individuals who recognize the resilience wiihin themseives so fhat can recognize it +n every human being. ft is this
perspective that wiil create a warm, nurturing environment that will help promote empowerment or seff-actualization
of the participants, The vehicle used to help creste this environment is fo educate the stari members who interact with
8' thru 12` graders, the parents of 8 tnru 12 graders, and lhe students grades 8" thru 12`" in the modei of
psychological funcfroning kno�rm as Hea{th Realizatian (Ha} os Psychology of Mind (PONI), and then have them apply
th+s understanding to their every day lives. The understanding gained 'through this etlucation wi{I al{ow participants
to function at a more healthy leve{ of cogniiion. Th+s level of cogni�ion will insulate them from participating in healih
dzmaging behaviors. By the completion of the granf, the modei wiii become pari oi the goveming phi(osophy of the
three institutions in the form of aduit and peer leadership, a daily school curriculum, and a model of in-house
prevention for poorschool performance, truancy, incidents of schooi tliscioline and suspensior, school drop-out, and
alcohol, tobacco, and otherdrug use. Health Realization directly fost2rs the healthy independent, mature, productive
side of people's psychological makeup ratherthan consuming fime and energy battling pathology and keeping people
focused on their dysfunctional thinking. Such a contribution leads to more efifective us2 of resources. At the end of
this grant, Health Realization wiil 6ecome part of the partner institutions, and therefore tne program wifl become self-

sustaining.
Currently th2re is a permanent Health Realization trzining component in both Boys i otem Town(STT� and Juvenile
D2terrtion(JDC). There has been an inconsistent Health Realizafion training componenf in the public school district
for the last 3 years. Curr2ntly, ali institutions but Juvenile Detention have some form of prevention and intervention
modef in place. S'tnce Health Realization wilf enhanc2 the participants undersfanding of how people tru{y function
psychologically via the principle of thought, the other models must become more effective. In addition, Fleaith
ftealization wili creaie a consistent conceptual iramework of prevenfion and inferveniion within and across the
insiitutions themselves, wh+le creafing a climate of �r�armth and respect.
An estimate of fhe number of parficipants in the three year grant program is: 25 public schoo{ staff, 60 corrections
sta�fi, 75 parenks, 400 kids in Boys Totem 7own, and 1,500 kids i� Juvenile Detention. The figures for the parerits and
students are based roughly on the year{y attentlance and turn-over of students wifnin the three institutions. All of the

The Totem Town program provides numerous support services fo residents in placement. The St. Pau{ Schooi District
provides a complete educational program. The educational program is sta;fed by special education teachers who
dzvelop individual leaming plans to meet the varying needs of tne students. Psychological tesiing and evafuation,
medica! assessments and care, casework services, daity peergroups, weekly family groups, �r�eekly support groups
and iniormational seminars are exampies oi services provided to a resident during his siay. Res+dents aiso have the
opportunity to become involved wifh numerous community agencies who provide programming and suppori groups

The Ramsey County Juvenile Detention Center{J�C) serves juveniles 1 Q to 18 years of �ge. JDC has 1 � St Paui
Public School staff, and 70 correction staff inembers. Juveniles are detained for serious law violations and when
there is reason fo believe: they woufd endanger themselves or others; they wouid noi want to return for a court
hearing; they would nof remain in the care and of their parents; or theis heafth znd welfare is in•immediate
danger. The length ofi stay fiaiis into three categories; next day release, a week stay after pfeatling guiity to the
offense, and 30 days awaiting trial. An exception would be an adolescent awaiting to be certified as an adult. This
stay couitl exceed the 30 day period. The Detention Center's mission is to hefp protect the community by ensuring
that juven+les placed in custody remain in a safe and secure environment until the Juvenile Court decides on an
altemative piacement. JDC does not currently have a drug assessment procedure or an alcohol, tobacco, and other
drug prevention and intervention program. Psychologicai and chemicai assessments musibe courtordered, but there
are questions related to use in both tne atlm'rttance procedure and the health screening. "
The St Paul Schooi District#625 provides a strong educat+onal program to detainedjuveniles. Students are separated
into two groups, Junior High and Senior Nigh. In 1998, ii included a regular schoof program plus ten weeks of summer
school:
477 Students attended fhe regufar school program in the 1997-1998 school year,
121 were special education students;
185 were schoof drop outs;
240 students attended the summer school session.
This program wi(f be a combination of Universal and Se!ective types oi in!ervention. The program is Universa{
because it offers training in the model ta ali 8'" -12' grade s?udents and their parents, and all school and corrections
staff, without regard to risk factors for ATOD use. it is Sele�tive in the sense that rt targeis 8th-12th graders U�ho are
identified as at-risk for dropping out of school antl ATQD use.
TIE TO RESEARCH AND SCIENCE
The theary of prevention in this program is known as Healtn Realization or Psychology of Mind. Heafth Reafizatior
is foremost a modei of resilience that uses tne terms inn2te hea{th or unconditioned state of mind in its stead. I:
recognizes that all peopie, regardless oi theirdemograpnic cnaracteris;ics, current circumstarces, past experiences,
or fevef of educatron have the capacity to (unction in a healthy, stab{e mannec Thai in �„y given moment a!I peop(�
are capable of deariy seeing tneir circumstances and �indirg solutions to daily chailenges.
Leadership training and empowerment ciasses in this procram are a0 based on pinpoin2ng the source of alienatior�,
drug abuse, and violence in peopie's leamed habits of thinking. The training process staris with the HR trainers
listening to understand the kinds of problems, issues, anc stresses that se�m immu�aole and criticai to ihe targei

audience-issues that they wouid nof recagnize as the+rown thinking. The educationaf formatof s11 Health Realization
training in this psogram is designed fo (a) help peop4e both identify and then recognize their seif-defeating thoughfs
as merely learned habits of fhinking and perception; (b) he(p them understand the difference between Qercepfions
and feelings generated by these thougMs and clearer perceptions resulting from tneir heafthy, common sense, here-
and-now thinking; (c) heip tnem recognize the vaiue of not acting on these leamed paitems of fhinking; and (d) heip
them see how to trust in their capacity to regain access io a healihier v2ntage point before acting or attempting to
address problems or situations to which they might oiherwise have reac"ted negative{y irom conditioned membries.
This is why there is little attention paid to demographic characteristics of ihe target audience, and so much success
has been realized in the racia4ly div2rse communiiies that have implemented Heaifh Realization and other resi(ience
modeis. Resilience is the same in any culiure, and at any age. (n this impersonal sense ave are afl the same(Bernard,
B.,1996; Boothroyd, P., & Eberle, M. 1990; Cowen, E. L., & Work, W. C. ]988; Kumpfier, K. L., & Hopkins, R. 1993;
Pransky, G., PAills, R. C., Blevens, K., Sedgeman, J. 1990; Werner & Smith, 1982, pp. 202).
_ - The underlying assumption of this theory is that everyone is cansfantly c�eafsng and re-creaiing their reality moment
to moment using their thinking(Bandura, A. 1989,1990; Bernard, B., 19°6, 1996a.; Beck, 1976; Pransky, G., Mills,
R. C., Blevens, K., Sedgeman, J. 1996; Shantz, 1975). Realizing this is the uitimate form of empowerment. Once
people recognize the role of thought to this dzpth not onfy do they change, but they create a process of change that's
on-going(Bernard, B., 1996).From the principle of thoughi come these basic assumptions:
1. There are two modes of thinking, conditioned or pzrsonal and unconditioned or impersonal( Maslow, A. H.
1973, pp. 254; Pransky, G., Miffs, R. C., 8levens, K., Sedgeman, J. 1996).
a. The state of mind known as conditioned thinking is experienced when analyzing or aciive{y
manipufating our thaughts to process and draw conclusions. This is referred to as "closed minded"
because if misused we limit ourseives to the information stored in our memory. (f we lisken whife
analyzing we wiil quickfy draw conclusions. and classify new informatior� according to our
conditioned thought process.
b. The state of mind known as uncondiiioned thinking is experienced when we relax our own ability to
anatyze. it is the default setting of our mind. This sta�e of mind has access to memory, but in a
bigger picture, less threafening perspective. This state of mind is known as resi!ience. if is a hea4thy,
uncontam+nated thought process tnaf is �he source of wisdom, common s�nse self-esteem, and
insight. This thought process a(4ows us to see life differently than through �vhai we already kno�u
(Bernard, B., 199�, 1991,1996, 199fia; Maslow, A. H. 1973, pp. 254; Pransky, G., Mills, R. C,
Blevens, K., Sedgeman, J. 1996).
Regardiess of their current state of inentai functicning, aff people have the same innate caoacity for healthy
psychological functioni�g(Bemard, 8.1990, 1991,1996,1996a.; Boothroyd, P„ & Eoerie, M.1990; Cowen,
E. L., & Work, W. C. 1988; Pransky, G., Mi;is, R. C., Blevens, K., Sedgeman, J. 199�; Rhodes, ,!. E., &
Jason, L. A. 1990; Wesner & Smith, 1982, pp. 202).
lnsight is a thought that comes from ou'tside of our already tormed infellec't, and therefore our memories or
way of see+ng 4iie (Mahrer, A. R. ,& Nadler, ��a'. P. 1986; Maslo�rr, A. H. 1973;Prarsky, G., Milis, R. C.,
Blevens, K., Sedgeman, J. 1996 j. An insight comes when in an unconditioned stat� of mind (Maslow, A H
1973, pp. 254;Pransky, G., Miils, R. C., 8levens, K., Sedgeman, J.1996). It is a tnoughtthat insiantaneously
changes the way we thi�k. After every insighi, neaative or limited thoughts that made sense to us, no longer
seem valid or important. Insignt acts as a psychologicai penicillin to heal the mem�ories of past tsaumatic
experiences, and the stories u�e innocently make up to explain tnose expenences(Pransky, G., Mills, R. C..
B4evens, K., Sedgeman, J. 1996).

fol4owing outcomes (Bernard, B. 1996,1996a.; Pransky, G., Mills, R. C., Sievens, K., Sedgeman, J.1996 Roe, K. &
8owser, B. 1993):
Motlello Housing Project, Hcmestead, FL. Afterthree years, out of the 150 families and o5� youth who were served;
• households seliing drugs went from 65% to less than 20°!0,
• the overali crime rafe went down 70-80%,
• teen pregnancy wenf from 50°/a+ to 10%,
• school drop out rafes went from 60% to 10%,

school absenteeism and truancy went from 65% to negligible,
parent unemployment rafe went from 85°la to 35°l0.
Coliseum Gardens Housing Project, Oakland, CA. fn 1991, Qakland had the fourth hignesthomicide rate in the United
SEates. Cofiseum Gardens had a homicide rate eleven times higher than the c+ty avesage. After oneyear,---
• 100% decrease in homicides, first homicide occurred in August, 1999 and ditl not invoive residents,
• other violent crimes reduced by 45°l0,
� drug possession and sale reduced by 16°10,
• assaults with firearms reduced by 38°/o,
• youth attendance and invoivement with Boys antl Girls Club increased 110%,
• gang warfare and ethnic cfashes between Cambodian and African American youth ceased.
Environmental Protective Factors
Noteo as the environmental factor in this program are the parents, school and ccrreciion staff, peer leaders and
students within the thrze institutions. Research impiies that the most effective prevention programs that produce {ong
term effects are those that address muftipie risk factors, parents, school, corrections (Yoshikawa, Hirokazu 1995}.
Research also suggests that family, social support, and relationships are influenfial factoss in fostering resilience in
youth(Boothroyd, P., & Eberfe, M. 1990; Cowe�, E. L., & Work, W. C. 1988; Rhodes, J. E., & Jason, L. �+. 1990).
7hese relationships, when marked by warmth, and the absence of severe criticism, can have a su6stantial protective
effect against the tlevefopment of later anfi-social behavior (Yoshikawa, Hirokazu 1995). This warmth and lack of
severe criticism could be referred to as psychological wellness or resilience or innate mentai health. Research shows
thai the concepfs of competency, resi{ience, and empowerment can enhance psychological weliness (Boothroyd, P.,
& Eberle, M.199Q;Cowen, E. L 1991; Cowen, E. L., & Work, W. C.1988; Rhodes, J. E., & Jason, L. A.1990�. Heaith
Reafization teaches participants abouf innate resilience, how to access this sfate of resilience, and the role thal
thought plays in determining personai reality. It is a motlel of competency, resilience, and empowerment.
lndividual Protective Factor
Research implies that some of the most critical f actors to be emphasized in addiction prevention interveniions �or
youtn are optimism, empathy, self-esteem and life skifis sucn as emotional management and planning skills (Kumpier,
K. L., & Nopk+ns, R, 1993). Health Realization(HRJ teaches paricipanis that the source of optimism, empaihy, and
self-esteem is an unconditional state of mind kno��vn as innate health or resilience. HR ih2n teaches participants houv
to gain access to innate hea(th and make wefi pfanned decisions from this wiser perspective. Health Realization
recognizes that emotion in its most basic form is thought.'Nhen participants understand this, they leam te manage
their emotions by changing their thinking. Heaith Realization contains factors and skiils that research has suggested
are some of the most critical to addiction prevention interizntions.

fVfodeflo and Coliseum Garden Program
The program is modeled afterfhe Modello and CoViseum Gardens projects. In both PAodello and Coliseum Gardens,
ciasses in Heaiih Reatization were heid for school stafi, students, at-risk kids, parents, and program staff. The weekl�
ciasses had a common formai, and usually preceded orfoliowed a 2-5 dzyworkshop. Ciasses were 90-120 m'inufes,
once-t�rice a week for 9-10 weeks. The size ofi fhe ciasses fluctuated between 2-30 paricipants. Once impiemented,
fhe ciasses would run for the duraiion of the gra�t. The workshops woufd continue throughout the iife of the program
to introduce residents and service providers to the modef of community empowerment. The classes were voluntary
and were struciured like a social event serving refreshmenis and allowing open discussion. 7he average amount of
train+ng Nras 36-40 hours. The central focus of the classes was resiliency or innate health.
In Modello, the parent or resident empowerment classes wese conducted for 2 hours, once a week for 9 weeks, for
the duration of fhe program. These ciasses were fol{owed by a 5-day train+ng for residents who attended the 9 weeks
- -- -- - -
-—- of dasses and were hired as outreach wotkers. In CoTseum'�a�dens, there was arr iniii�l 2-daytraining;fioflowed �p'
by ciasses for 1.5 hours, once a week for 10 weeks, for the duration of the grant. {n Co{iseum Gardens, the 2-day
trainings were offered throughout the duration o4 the grant to attract more residents(Roe, K. & Bowser, B. i993).
Modeilo participants were primarily African-American, Hispanic-American antl White-American women between the
ages of 18-55. Most participants were on welfare, had less than a high school education, and were classified as
impoverished. Coliseum Gartlens only differed in relation to the ethnic origin of the participants which were primarily
African-American and Asian-American(Roe, K, & Bouiser, B. 1993).
in Modelio, as the residents 6ecame healthy ihey began to see the need for Heaith Realization in the schoois, They
noticetl that school staff viewed the Modeilo kids as troubfe makers, and they beli�ved that fhis affected their
children's attendance and performance (Bernard, 8.1996; 800throyd, P., & Ebede, M.1990; Cowen, E, L., & Work,
W. G.1988; Kumpfer, K. L., & Hopkins, R.1993; Pransky, G., Mills, R. G., Blevens, K., Sedgeman, J.1996; Rhodes,
J. E., & Jason, L. A. 1990). Miiis mei with staff and administrators to introducz them to the model. 7here was
substaniial interest, so staff classes met for 90 minutes, once a week for 10 weeks, for the duration of the program.
In Coliseum Gardens, schoal staff were tinvited to attend pareni empowerment dasses and were so impressed hy
the classes, and the health of the participants, that they had program staff ineet with schoo4 siaff and a class with the
same structure as Modello's schooi component was implemented(Roe, K. & Bowser. B. 1993). Schooi statf in both
focationswere primarilyAfrican-American, Hispanic-American, Asian-American and VVni;e-American women and men.
In the Modello and Coliseum Gardens youth program there were no 2-day courses irvolvetl. Classes were 60-90
minutes, once a week for ten weeks, for the duration of the granf. The ages of ihe children ranged from 12-18. The
racial mixture was comparabfe to the adult attendance. A worker, L1oyd Fieltls, was assigned part time to tne schoof,
to work with youth from Modello who goi into trouble. These ciasses,afso coniinued ior tne duration of fhe grant from
the date of implementation.
St. Paul Public Schooi Dlstrict-Totem Town-JDC-St, Paul Police Program
The folio�riing is an outiine for the comoonents of this grant. These shoufd be read with tne understanding that there
musi be room for flexibility as dictated by the participants needs and evaluation feedbzck. All classes wiii meei from
60-120 minuies, 1-3 times a week for 12 Nreeks, for the duration of t��e gran't. Stafi an� the parent outreach worker
will attend a 2-day workshop in addition to the weekiy classes. Other parenis and siudents wi!! have the option of
aitending these workshops. Afl classes tivill be voluntary in nature, even in the case o� ai-risk students. They uril( be
give� the option of ihe cfasses in lieu oi aiready prescribed sanctions. Remembering i�at the infention is for Healin
Realization to become part of the reguiar school district curriculum, the frequency and fength of the classes were

requirements af the school district. In Boys Totem � own(BTT) and Juvenile Detenfion{JDC) there is a summerschool
session so the school year is 45 v Stai classes will reflect ihe BTT and dDC schoof year, as wil4 the correction
p�renting classes. There are educational aids or fanguage transfators wiihin the ins!itui;ons.
One contiruos school and correction staif feadership ciass; and one paren't leadership ciass aaill both be conducted
during the life of the grant at ihe Juvenile Detention Center's training facility. Once tra:ned in Health Realization,
ieachers will teach Health Realization in the regular classrooms following the format of the peer lezdership program.
In the Modello and Coliseum Gardens Law Eniorcement participated in the Health Realization training of the sfaff and
residents Which makes common sense, seeing as they had the most authority over the residents. The Law
Enforcement component in this program wi�i be fhe corrections staff of Totem Town and Juvenile Defenfion. if, as
research suggests, a good relationship with parents, other adults, and peers, marked by warmth, and the absence
of severe crificism, can have a substantial protective effect against the tlevelopment oi later anti-sociai behavior
(Yoshikawa, Hirokazu 1995j, and; the most effective prevention programs that produce long term effects zre those
thataddress multiple risk factors, parents, schoof, and corrections (Yoshikawa, Hirokazu 1995), and; the most criticai
factors to be emphasized in prevention interventions for youth are: optimism, emoathy, self-eskeem, emotional
management and planning ski{4s (Kumpfer, K. L., & Hopkins, R. 1993), and; Health Realizat+on resilience t�aining
is a way to tlevelop these assets in al{ participants through a deeper understanding of psychological functioning or
focusing on resilience(8ernard, 8.1990, 1991, 1996, 1996a.; Pransky, G., Mii1s, R. C., Blevens, K., Sedgeman, J.
1996), tnen; teaching Health Realizatio� to parficipants wi11 create a substantiaf protective effect against the
development of later anti social behaviorsuch as delinquency, substance abuse, violence, and adult maiadjus'tment.
The `Closet Genius" or at-risk youth classes wi�l b° ofrered to kids at-risk for dropping out of school. If, as research
suggesis, the most critical factors io be emphasized in prevention interventions for at-risk youth are: optimism,
empathy, self-esteem, and life skills such as emotional management and planning skiils, and Health Realization
resilience iraining is a way to develop these assets through a deeper understanding of psychoiogical functioning or
iocusing on resilience, then; teaching at-risk youih Heaith Rezlization will allow them te experience a decrezse in
delinquency, substance abuse, violence, and aduli maladjustment.
The pees leadership dasses were not formaily parf of either the Modello or Coliseum Gardens program, but the
concepf is true to the Health Realization iocus on empowerment (Bernard, B.,1996;Prans�9, G., Mi!!s, R. C., Bievens,
K., Sedgeman, J. 1990}. If, as research suggests, peer leadership alfows students to assume the empowered role
oT mentor and role modei(Bernard, 8. 1996;Carr, ft. A. 19S8;Dishion, T. J., McCord, Joan, Poufin, Francois 1999),
and; at-risk youth are particuiarly vulnerabie to pezr aggregatio�s (Dishion, T. J., McCord, Joan. Poulin, Francois
19°9), and; the most criticaf fiactors to be emphasized in preveniion interventions for yeuth are: ooiimism, empaihy,
self-esteem, life skills such as emotional management and pianning skills(Kumpier, K. L.. & Hopkins, R. 1993), and;
peer ieaders trained in Health Realization wil! focus on those healthy factors or the re�:lience or ihe siudents and
building positive relationships with those students, then; a�-risk �outh will experience z decrease in delinquency,
substance abuse, violence, and adult maladjusfinent (Dishion, T. J., McCord, Joan, Pou!in, Francois 1999).
Parent or resident outreach workers svere part of both the Modello and Coliseum Garder. project( Bemard, B. 1990,
199oa.;Pransky, G., Mi44s, R. G., Blevens, K., Sedgeman, J.1996;Roe, K. & Bowser, B. i a93). They were invaluabie
as a means of getting other parents to ine Health Realiza6on classes, and keeping th�m involved. If, as research

suggests, teaching Heaith Realization to participants will create a substantial protective effecf against the
development of lateranti social behaviorsuch as delinquency, substance abuse, violenc°, and adult maladjustment,
and; parent oufreach workers recruit more parents to atiend Health Rea(ization training, then; more parents wil!

The best trainers are those thaf come out oi the communiiy being served( Bemard, B. 1990,19°6a.;Pransky, G.,

tnus have evaluation components in place. These same structures wouid be utdizetl with the understanding that they
would be subject to reiinements from an evaluaior experienced in a more rigorous scientific eva!uation process. The
participants themselves would provide the most assistance through meetings. The program coordinator would
supervise the olanning, collecting or analyzing tlata, report preparation, with the assistance of the anafyst in the

SPECIAL NOTE: Ruth Peckman of Open Schooi called the morning of �riday, October 29,1999 and said that after
further consideration, they did not feel comfortable with the 3 year commitment required by this grant. There was
concern that the grant put too great of a work foad on the staff. In light of these thoughts, they Niithdrew from the
proqram. However, the St. Paul Pubiic School Disirict remains a partner through the Boys Totem Town and Juvenile
Detention Center Pubiic Schools.

inferventions for at-risk youth are: optimism, empathy, self-esteem, life skills, emotional management and
pianning skills, and Nealth Realization resilience training is a way to develop these asseks through a deeper
understanding of psychologicai funclioning or focusing on resilience, then; ;eaching at-risk youth Heaith

create a substantial protective effecf against the deve4opment of later ��ti social behavior such as
delinquency, substance abuse, violence, and adult maladjustment, and; p arznt outreach workers recruii
more parents to attend Health Realization training, then; more parents will create a substantia! protective
effect against the development oi later anti sociaf behavior such as delinquenc�i, substan�e abuse, viofence,
and adult maladjustment.
ADVANCED TRA1NiNG OF TftAiNERS PROGRAM: If staff inembers of ihe institutions are trained as
"Advanced Trainers" in Health Realization, antl; if, as research suggests, ieaching Health Realization to
