Visit us at www.aquietmoment.org to learn more! We are Saving Lives Camarillo, a community coalition with a mission to reduce substance use among our local youth. We envision that they reach their full potential and succeed as healthy, moral adults, unhindered by substance abuse, each contributing in their own unique way to the community and world we live in.
With a goal to help empower your students in making healthy choices, we would like to introduce a program that is simple and powerful, while incurring no costs to the school. Saving Lives provides all you need to make it successful throughout the year.
What is a Quiet Moment:
A Quiet Moment is a 60 second period at the onset of the school day for students to silently reflect on a positive value shared with them by their parent or guardian.
Why a Quiet Moment:
A minute of quiet time creates an opportunity for reflection on a deeply personal level which can have a positive effect on the students’ functioning and choice making throughout the day.
• Letting go of negative emotions and replacing them with positive thoughts can help them self-regulate without resorting to drugs and alcohol.
• A Quiet Moment connects the school, student, and parent while sending a message to the student that their family values are an essential component of their general education.
• Research has shown that children who participate in a Quiet Moment have displayed:
o improved grades in school
o better behavior at home
o increased respect for teachers and parents.
o decreased anxiety, bullying, disrespect, depression, and crime.
