Programs

Programs offered by C.A.R.E.S.:

“in-the-dash” program:  The program is a 30 minute audience participation curriculum which will be held in all Middle and High schools. C.A.R.E.S. has teamed up with a local youth group called VOX, Voice of a Generation. This is a group of fifteen high schools and college age youths which put on a drama production to two specific songs called “Hero” and “Last Word”. They sing about the bad choices we make and how we can have hope and overcome them. Between these two songs, a motivational speaker will be on stage and influence audience participation. C.A.R.E.S. will also be represented and speak on behalf of survivors of suicide and what the affects are to the families left behind.

Support Groups:  Survivors of Suicide Support groups is offered to adults and adolescents who have lost someone to suicide on the third Thursday of every month.

Caring Hearts Team: this is a team made up of survivors of suicide of 2 years or more who respond to families after they have lost a loved one to suicide. This program is in collaboration with the Cape Coral Police Department Victim Advocates team.\
