Secrets Essay Contest
Secrets Essay Contest
The AMA Alliance is working with the American Psychiatric Association Alliance (APA Alliance)to encourage children to participate in the "Secrets" essay contest, a literary project designed to render a service to the school community, at no cost.
The contest will encourage students' thinking about the issues that affect them and their community. In particular, it is designed to create and enhance an overall awareness that violent talk can lead to violent action.
The purpose of the project is to create a positive atmosphere for open communication between students and parents and students and educators.
Students are encouraged to seek assistance from a trusted adult and to understand that violent talk can lead to violent behavior. In order to write on the topic, students have to confront harsh truths and explore a high level of ethical behavior.
