Miami-Dade County Public Schools and representatives from the Sandy Hook Promise organization are launching a violence prevention program in an effort to raise awareness about social isolation and highlighting the importance of creating connected and inclusive schools.

The program, called «Start With Hello», kicked off Monday at John A. Ferguson High School. Former Miami Heat star and Basketball Hall of Famer Alonzo Mourning and his wife Tracy were be in attendance, joined by current Heat player Wayne Ellington.

The Sandy Hook Promise was created out of the tragic shooting at the Connecticut elementary school in December 2012.

«I would much rather be at home with both my boys, but it’s too late for me to go back,» said Nicole Hockley, who created the program after her son Dylan was killed in the shooting. «The kids here to today and their parents they can go forward and make a huge difference.»

According to their website, the program seeks to prevent gun-related deaths due to crime, suicide and accidental discharge «so that no other parent experiences the senseless, horrific loss of their child.»

«There are warning signs and signals all the time of self harm or violence against others or any other sort of social issue or factor,» Hockley said. «As parents, we have a responsibly to act on that.
