Government is to hold two residential courses this year as part of its Mirrors programme.

Teenagers aged 15-18 will be able to attend in June, while 18-21 year-olds will be able to take part in November.

Minister of Culture and Social Rehabilitation Dale Butler said 33 teenagers took part in the first residential programme last year. They are currently in a nine-month 'follow through' phase.

"We have seen the positive effect of the Mirrors programme on the first 33 participants and we are convinced that Mirrors can help many more of our at-risk youth," said Mr. Butler.

Anyone interested in the programme should contact 294 9291 or email: mirrors@gov.bm.
