The focus on the need for mental <br /> wellness in our children was evident in the report, especially for programs that prevent mental <br /> distress and illness . This program provides such a focus. <br /> 2. a) Identify similar programs that are currently serving the needs of your targeted <br /> population ; b) Explain how these existing programs are under-serving the targeted <br /> population of your program. <br /> a) The Indian River County Recreation Department offers "Pool Days, Not School Days" <br /> for part of the time this camp is offered .
