Blitz Attack: The Andrea Hines Story Part II

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) (2008), the cost of youth violence each year exceeds $158,000,000,000. Evaluating the use of this film and workbook as a tool for professional training in areas such as public health awareness, addiction treatment, family counseling, and many other public health program interventions, Blitz Attack: The Andrea Hines Story (Blitz Attack) Part II DVD (50 minutes, 2006/2007) demonstrates rarely seen real-life personal accounts that are powerfully presented by family members in Holtville, CA (pop. 5000). The tragic events affected the town and the two families in the summer of 1994. Part II will offer insight into the causative factors, underlying motivations, and historical information to allow for observational audience analysis that will specifically generate discussion in the importance of community level intervention in mental health, family violence and neglect, substance abuse, and drug addiction/prevention issues.
