Handle With Care (HWC) is a simple program intended to keep kids succeeding in school. Basically, if the police are called to a home where there are children present, they send a "Handle With Care" notice to the school. The message is then distributed to school personnel, before the bell rings the next day, to let them know something traumatic has happened to that child. How to Handle With Care was written to help answer the question so many people have: "How do I start this program?" This book presents several ways to implement HWC in your state, county, school, and within the guidelines of your local law enforcement agency. Thus, you can set up your own program by selecting bits and pieces you deem workable in your community, and avoid those that are not. This book represents a collage of ingenuity and, hopefully, will spark ideas specifically relevant to your local requirements.
