Converting Losers into Winners

In the San Fernando Valley ^**1  a new approach to 
    to reducing gang violence and vandalism is being implemented.  

Instead of piling our collective blame, guilt and shame onto struggling young men and threatening them with jail, a groups of private citizens is applying a new approach to reducing youth-gang violence and vandalism.    Instead of fighting losers, the program focuses on creating winners.    Instead of threats, the program  uses incentives.   This approach involves inviting  teens to participate in a self-awareness program that revolving around a self-help training technique called Theta-Healing / Theta Transformation. ^**2   This approach offers youths new ways of living,  new ways of being,  and new ways to relate to their external world.   

The first step involves  instructing them regarding the basic rules of how the universe functions. ^**3   They are taught perspectives of life that  are rarely accurately explained anywhere else.   They are then  taught the essential techniques of Theta Healing /Theta-Transformation. ^**2    With these tools, participants are guided on a step-by-step  path of re-creating themselves to be anything they choose to be.   They are taught  how to create things, situations, and experiences that, for them, were previously  impossible.   

Instead of destruction, the program focuses on creation.   Instead of treating symptoms, the program seeks, finds, and resolves the root causes of problems.   Instead of applying "more of the same" or doing  "the same thing harder," the program uses  an approach and takes actions that have not previously been applied to this problem.   Instead of spending a hundred or so million dollars on a major, unproven project, (innovation)  the program is  spending only a few thousand dollars on tried and tested ways of making personal transformations in small, doable increments (kaizen).**4    Instead of tapping the public treasury, the program is  functioning on private donations  and on the assistance of people like you.   To read about it in detail, please go to the program producer's website:   http://www.YouthGangs.info.
