..and welcome to our home on the web. We’re so glad you stopped in!
2023 was an exciting and eventful year for us at FHLC, Inc. and we are poised and ready to launch into 2024 with our newest and most impactful program yet.. Sticks And Stones (only break my bones.. it’s your words that really hurt me.)
The concept for Sticks And Stones began as a way to address school violence because.. as a society, we have become so focused on stopping a shooter, that we ignore the genesis of the issue.
It comes down to one word.. why?
Why does an individual become or develop into a shooter in the first place? What are the underlying root causes of their thoughts and emotions?
Instead of asking, “What will it take to keep our students safe from a shooter?” this program changes the narrative and asks, “What will it take for our students to not become a shooter?”
What would that look like?
In order to do this, we have to imagine that we could go back in time and take ahold of this individual when they were four, or five, or ten.. whatever age they needed to be, before their thoughts and emotions became twisted.
What could we have done differently to have diffused the situation before it got out of hand and festered, unabated, to this level?
Our original concept aimed specifically at eradicating gun violence has now blossomed into a larger, more comprehensive plan for not only addressing aggression in school, but also implementing preventative measures to mitigate risk factors in early childhood development, before they become an issue.
