geminigirlI'm scheduling the last of my programs, assuming I'm here through the end of the grant year.
A few more groups, six month follow ups with some of our peer educators, movie and discussions with them as well.
Next Wednesday, the department will be about half the size it was when I started.
It's terrifying and devastating to see how prevention education is falling apart.

It is frightful that this important service is not only being neglected but actively assaulted. Blessings on those who have worked on it so hard, and who will doubtless continue to do so, through whatever means are available.

And hope against hope that when the next round of CDC funding comes out soon, that some program...whether it's mine or someone else's in the region is funded. Because as of now, CDC isn't funding any prevention education programming for youth in the DC/NOVA area.
