The Dams
Channeling Anger and Challenges into Positive Motivation:
Turning life’s challenges, anger, pains, and frustrations into positive
motivation.
 2.
The Reality Ride:
A picture of a roller coaster is used to show
the reality of life’s
experiences with the ups and downs as well as how to get on the track
to opportunity, freedom, and self-respect.
 3.
Tearing off Labels
A picture of cans and their labels teaches youth how to change the negative
ways that others perceive them by letting their strengths emerge through
their actions and behavior.
 4.
Defense Mechanisms:
A picture of a knight in armor is used as an
example of how we behave in certain ways to
protect ourselves. It helps teach the youth
how to
make good decisions when they are angry, frustrated, or scared. It teaches
positive coping mechanisms so that youth can choose a defense that won’t
hurt themselves or others
 5.
Climbing Out:
This picture of crabs trying to climb out of a pot shows youth how peers
can affect them both positively and negatively. This visual analogy encourages
youth to not let others pull them down.
 6.
Six Steps To Jumping Hurdles:
This picture of a tennis shoe and a hurdle
teaches youth how to overcome their problems.
The steps for doing so are as follows: identify
the problem, create
options, get help, take action, believe they can make changes, and “jump
back up if they trip.”
 7.
Desire, Time, Effort:
This analogy uses a maze to help youth understand and experience the importance
of desire, time, and effort in meeting their challenges. Just as they used
desire, time, and effort to make it through the confusing maze, they need to
use these principles to overcome their daily challenges.
 8.
What Makes Me Strong:
This analogy uses a picture of a weightlifter to help youth see that following
rules and having self-discipline will make them stronger, not weaker. This
analogy shows how resistance and challenges can produce opportunity, freedom,
and self-respect.
 9.
Getting Plugged In:
This analogy uses a picture of five sockets and a light bulb to teach youth
to connect with the light to see their future. The light corresponds with a
support system, such as parents/caregiver, a positive friend, a teacher/counselor,
a school official, a positive mentor, or something that motivates them to do
good.
 10.
Seeing Over the Wall:
This visual analogy of a brick wall teaches youth to see more in life than
just problems and challenges. Applying the above nine (9) principles will help
them see “over the wall” and see their potential and dreams more
clearly.
Through
this program youth will learn one step at a time
how to get on top of the wall and see opportunity
in life, how they earn freedom to make the most
of their opportunities, and as a result, how
they achieve more self-respect!
