The Gulf Coast Community Foundation of Venice (Florida) has given a $100,000 grant to the Jewish Family & Children's Services of Sarasota-Manatee. The additional money will fund an expansion of its Brief Strategic Family Therapy Program to all the schools in southern Sarasota County.

"The program targets middle and high school aged youth exposed to problems including domestic violence, bullying, rebellion, peer pressure and early substance abuse."

The program includes hour-long counseling sessions once a week for 15 weeks. Read more at Sun-Herald.com.
