Teen Decision offers the “missing piece” in addressing the risks of teen sexual activity. Teen Decision puts the “decision” into the hands of teens by teaching them how to have healthy relationships and how delaying sexual activity can actually improve relationship outcomes.
In June 2015, Teen Decision restarted a 15-year-old program that had been concluded by its founder due to a lack of funding. Since then we’ve reached about 6-8,000 teens yearly in over 30 schools and community groups with the same successful program teachers had come to appreciate:
- …by far the best program we bring into our schools!
- I have used them for many years; they are the only program that still comes into my classroom.
- Our students LOVE the speakers.
- This program has become an integral part of our health curriculum and helps meet State Goals and Standards.
- Every student in our school is a part of their lessons and it has impacted our school tremendously!
- At the end of each semester our students overwhelmingly give very positive feedback… As an educator for 21 years, I know that having outside speakers reinforce the lessons and concepts I teach has been critical to our students’ understanding.
Teen Decision offers speakers who come into your class for two- to four-day presentations, or a 1.5 to 3 hour program in community settings. Take a look at our 3-day Unit Outline, but keep in mind that we are willing to work with your school district to make any adjustments to our content to make sure that we align with your district guidelines and community values.
