			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Bullying is a major concern for many schools in New Jersey. If your school is interested in implementing a comprehensive bullying prevention program, NJPN can help by connecting you to trained experts in bullying prevention.</p>
<p>Our trainers can help you implement the Olweus Program, a comprehensive, school-wide program designed to reduce and prevent bullying problems among school children and to improve peer relations at school. This evidence-based program has been found to reduce bullying among children, improve the social climate of classrooms, and reduce related antisocial behaviors, such as vandalism and truancy. </p>
<p>The Olweus Program has been implemented in more than a dozen countries around the world, and in thousands of schools in the United States. For more information, please call Diane Liga at NJPN at 732-367-0611.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><span style="font-size: small;">New Lifeline Legislation (P.L. 2009, c.133) encourages young people to call for help in the event of an alcohol medical emergency. <span style="color: #ff0000;">Alcohol poisoning is scary, but now calling 9-1-1 for help isn’t.</span></span></strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">  </span></p>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong><span style="font-size: small;">CALL <span style="color: #000000;">for Help</span></span></strong></span></li>
<li><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong><span style="font-size: small;">STAY <span style="color: #000000;">with Your Friend</span></span></strong></span></li>

</ul>
<p>Action saves lives, so it must take place immediately on the scene. Unfortunately, minors faced with a medical emergency as a result of excessive drinking often hesitate to call for help, either because of uncertainty of the signs of alcohol poisoning or fear of facing legal charges related to alcohol possession and use. That is why New Jersey enacted the “911 Lifeline Legislation.” </p>
<p>The Lifeline Legislation is a health and safety approach to an existing problem.  It is meant to do one thing, promote health and safety for minors by ensuring they receive medical attention if they need it.  By no means does this legislation condone underage drinking. Rather, it responds to cases of excessive drinking by minors when medical attention is needed and creates the opportunity for their peers to save lives that are in danger due to severe intoxication. Providing immunity under these circumstances has proven to be an effective means to encourage young people to call for help. </p>
<p><strong>Purchasing, possessing or consuming alcohol is illegal for those under the Minimum Legal Drinking Age of 21.  This legislation provides immunity from prosecution when the steps below are followed.</strong>  </p>
<p>If a young person is suspected of alcohol poisoning and their friend(s) want to help them, they must:</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">1.  Call for Help:</span></strong>  One of the underage persons call 9-1-1 and reports that another underage person was in need of medical assistance due to alcohol consumption. The underage person is the first person to make the 9-1-1 report;<br />
<strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">2.  Stay with your Friend:</span></strong>   The underage person (and, if applicable, one or two others acting in<br />
concert with the underage person who made the 9-1-1 call) remains on the scene with the underage<br />
person in need of medical assistance; AND<br />
<strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">3.  Talk with Authorities:</span></strong>   The underage person who called 9-1-1 (and, if applicable, one or two<br />
others who were acting in concert with the caller) provide each of their names to the 9-1-1 operator and cooperates with medical assistance and law enforcement personnel on the scene.</p>
<p>The underage person who is receiving medical assistance is also immune from prosecution.   This immunity applies on public and private property.</p>
