Coastal Health Communities Coalition DVD 'A Parent’s Guide to Social Networking' featured in Courier

A Feb. 9, 2012 story in The Biddeford-Saco-OOB Courier covered the release of a new DVD titled “A Parent’s Guide to Social Networking,” created by UNE's Coastal Healthy Communities Coalition (CHCC).

In the story, William Paterson, CHCC prevention project director, explains that he noticed that there was need in the southern Maine communities for social networking education among parents and kids because of online bullying and local parents who worried about how to handle their kids’ online activity.

Paterson and Mike Froning, CHCC program director, commissioned Video Creations in Kennebunk to develop the DVD, and the students of the Natural Helpers group at Old Orchard Beach High School contributed their social networking experiences in onscreen interviews. Students and parents from Kennebunk High School and the Middle School of the Kennebunks were interviewed for the production as well.
