   "There are too many of us being abused," said James Smith at a regional People First meeting last year. "This has to stop, so we have declared war on abuse."

   The Abuse Prevention Team is a group of 5 self-advocates from Shasta, Tehama, and Butte Counties who present to other consumer groups. The presentation focuses on the right to privacy, confidentiality, self-advocacy, relationship and intimacy, and respect. The presentation also includes the definition of abuse, how to stop it, and how to report it. Each presentation is one hour long.

   For more information and to schedule a presentation call Sherri or Cindi at the Regional Self-Advocacy Project, 530-223-7771 or email cfreshour@wecarealot.org.
