Real Choices: High School
Our sexual health program for high school students encourages older teens to develop their personal goals and dreams. It also prepares them to resist negative pressure to engage in sexual activity. It helps teens define their future paths, explore the consequences of risk-taking behaviors, and learn ways to build healthy relationships. This program discusses:
Goal setting and protecting teenagers’ futures
Exhibiting self-control
Recognizing sexual coercion and refusal skills
Possible emotional, physical, psychological, and social consequences of sexual activity outside of a life-long committed relationship like marriage
Common STIs and how they spread
Sexual Risk Avoidance is a choice that can be made by anyone at any time even if they have been sexually active.
The program also employs interactive exercises and discussions. A powerful, true-life video testimony encourages and challenges students, giving them a clear, consistent message that helps them come to their own conclusion that abstinence is the safest and healthiest lifestyle.
High School program length: 3 days, 40 mins each day
Relationship Goals
According to the CDC, nearly 1.5 million teenagers are victims of dating abuse each year. We have created a program focused entirely on relationships to help address this problem. Our relationships program discusses:
Foundations of healthy relationships
Warning signs of emotional, physical and sexual abuse
Technology and privacy in dating
Building good boundaries
Healing from past hurts
These conversations are honest but sensitive, and the tone of the presentation is infused with appropriate moments of seriousness and levity. The program is built on the three concepts of awareness, empowerment and hope, with the ultimate message being, "Everyone is valuable and deserves to be in healthy relationships." This relatable and relevant discussion of the psychology of relationships is geared toward high school students and young adults, but can be adapted for younger audiences.
