me, as well . American Indian cultural practices and spiritual traditions are at
the heart of the program. A great education is the key to becoming a health care

WASHINGTON, The following is a transcript of
remarks by the First Lady on helping America's youth:

I want to acknowledge John Lewis, Executive Director, Inner-Tribal Council
of Arizona. The goal of Helping America's
Youth is to help children make healthy decisions in their lives so they can
grow up to be successful and healthy. She had poor self-esteem
and little hope for a better future.

Harris founded Project Prevention after a failed attempt at
legislation that would have made using birth control mandatory for drugs
addicts and alcoholics in California.
"Nothing positive comes from an addict giving birth numerous times only to
have her children taken away -- it only sends the addict deeper into her
addiction because of the guilt felt in losing yet another child," said Mrs. Founded in 1998, Project Prevention has paid over 1,700
drug or alcohol addicted clients in 39 states and the District of Columbia. I 'm
impressed by your determination to avoid risky behaviors and to stay connected
to your family and your culture, and to the good values that you've learned
from them. Drugs are a
temptation . Every child has to make the choice between healthy
behaviors that lead to success and risky behaviors that can lead down a road
of bad outcomes.
The Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community is finding solutions to the
problems that young people face on their reservation.

BUSH: Thank you.
These challenges aren't limited to any one part of the country or to any
one segment of society.
That's why many efforts to help tribal youth include cultural traditions.
Helping America's Youth depends on partnerships within communities, and on
the individual commitment of every American.M.

new initiative called Helping America's Youth.
The Phoenix Union School District and the Gate Way Community College are

Harris.M. Derwin, thank you very much for
your very excellent introduction and for telling us about your story.
Students are taking college-level courses in high school, and they're
participating in internships that give them a head start on their career.

Thanks, everybody . The initiative calls for actions in the
three most important parts of a child's life: a child 's family, a child's
school, and a child's community.
A particular concern is that tribal youth who live in big cities like
Phoenix can become disconnected from their culture. And it gives them the encouragement to continue with their
own lives, their rich traditional and cultural traditions . MST

Founder and Director Barbara Harris applauded the efforts of lawmakers
to address the issue of substance-exposed children, but voiced her displeasure
the bill focuses on punitive measures. "Project Prevention is the best
buy in all public policy and provides 100 times the return on investment as
the next best charity I support. Thank you all so much for what
you do and thank you for joining me today. The strong inter-
generational ties of Native American culture are a great benefit for children. The drum has called people
together! for centuries, and by introducing tribal youth who live in cities to
a tradition that has been practiced by their ancestors, Red Road gives young
people a sense of belonging and identity. The Responsible Fatherhood Initiative and
the Healthy Marriage Initiative are designed to keep families strong and
stable, so that whenever possible , children can grow up with two loving
parents in their home.

When a child has a goal,
it means he has hope. They have plans to reduce substance
abuse, to provide group housing for young adults transitioning out of foster
care and back onto the reservation, to educate the community about family and

BOISE, Idaho, North Carolina-based Project
Prevention responded today to a bill passed by the Idaho State Senate, and
awaiting House approval , making it a crime for a pregnant woman to use illegal
drugs. The bill was intended to prevent
children from being born substance-exposed, but also to prevent the
psychological impact on the potential mother. He has something he wants to accomplish.

Smoking and drinking may look
appealing to children when they see older kids doing it. The time between childhood and
adulthood is all too short, as George and I can attest, and every moment in a
child's life is precious. After I visited a program in Detroit, a newspaper
reporter asked one of the little boys that I met what he thought of my visit ,
and I was moved when I read that he simply said, "I wish she could stay here.

Harris, who personally adopted four out of eight children to one
substance-abusing mother, pointed out that "birth control is the only solution
to this critical problem. If we get those addicted to drugs on long-term birth
control there won't be a need to send them to jail.
In addition, the program announced a special offer of $500 for the first 100
new clients of 2006.org.

Remarks by the First Lady on Helping America 's Youth

Also, to all the tribal leaders and elders who serve as role models and as
guides for our youth, to the tribal youth royalty who are here, who represent
the tribal nations at events around the country, and who serve as role models
for other young people in your communities.
They worry about sexual activity that can lead to early pregnancy or sexually
transmitted diseases.
Young people who hear positive messages from their parents, their
grandparents, their aunts and uncles , are more likely to avoid risky
behaviors, and this is true in every culture.
The bonds of family and culture that exist on reservations may not be as
strong in urban environments.

Tribal youth are introduced to one of the most respected professions in our
nation, and they're given the opportunity to spend a lifetime of service to
others. The President has introduced several
initiatives that support local communities , including funding to provide
mentors for children who have a parent in prison, and a new proposal to reduce
gang violence and gang involvement. The conference will introduce a new assessment tool so that
communities can identify the challenges they face and the services that
already exist to meet them, and then community leaders can integrate federal
and local programs to create a seamless effort to help the youth and children
in their communities.

"It's unacceptable that public policy and social welfare programs have
failed to protect innocent children from being born with crippling addictions
to crack cocaine, alcohol and other substances that have life-long
consequences ," added Jim Woodhill, a Texas venture capitalist and major
financial supporter of Project Prevention ."

Project Prevention, a national 501(c)3 nonprofit, recently announced an
increase of the program's national cash incentive from $200 to $300 for women
addicted to drugs or alcohol who obtain long-term or permanent birth control. One of those practices is the use of the drums,
which boys and girls demonstrated for me.

Native American parents worry about their children using drugs or alcohol. The program is designed to help urban
tribal youth make decisions to keep them on track to be healthy and successful
adults.
Every child should have goals and aspirations. But in the Drug Court program, Amber
received a dose of authority and love.
Today, Amber is free from drugs.
Through Helping America's Youth, we're encouraging communities to follow
the example that is set here by recognizing their needs and then acting
together to meet those needs.
One of the most important ways the federal government can help local
communities is by fostering connections between people who are running good
programs and people who want to get started. This fall, we'll convene a White
House Conference on Helping America's Youth to discuss some of the best
practices to help children avoid risky behaviors and become responsible,
healthy adults. And
as I've learned today from the remarkable men and women I've met, each of us
has the power to make the difference in the life of a child.
