“Helping Services for Northeast Iowa presented the “Bully Proof” program as well as the “Safe Date” program to the youth group at the Cresco United Methodist Church this past year for the first time.  The information reinforced many of the values that can be difficult to convey effectively to young people.   Interaction between the instructor and students was surprisingly open and honest.  Positive feedback from both students and parents prove that the presentations were beneficial to identifying and changing behavior.”
