​

Our core curriculum has  4 main components: 10-13 lessons facilitated by a Program Support Specialist once a week. Lessons consist of class discussions, live demos, games, videos, group activities, skits, and teamwork. Class topics include Seeing your SPARK, Thought/Experience connection, Stress, Insecurity, Confidence, Power of Thought, Habits, Understanding Diversity, Healthy Relationships, Peer Pressure, Bullying and more.

This curriculum is delivered 1on1 or small groups. 

 

Overcoming adversity and building resistance to ongoing stress or prior trauma often make it difficult for youth to regulate their emotional responses when facing challenges in school and work, life and relationships. As participants learn the skills and strategies in Mind Matters, they can begin to take charge of themselves and their responses to what life throws at them. Participants learn to address their physical, relational, and mental health needs. In these 21 sessions youth learn proven ways to deal with stressful, perhaps adverse, life experiences using  innovative methods based on  current research and neuroscience.

​

Our risk reduction and prevention curriculum is derived from the T.E.A.M curriculum  approved by US Dept of Justice and Delinquency Prevention.  This curriculum is delivered in 25 Sessions weekly or biweekly at high risk/turn around schools. The curriculum features several empirically based interventions adapted for implementation in delivering context to middle-school students. The curriculum's philosophy is to target factors that have been found to put middle-school students at-risk for delinquent behaviors. The four risk factors with the most robust empirical support are truancy, lack of school engagement, association with deviant peers, and victimization. The curriculum intends to teach middle-school students skills and strategies for combating each of these four risk factors. The strategies are taught in the context of a group setting in which the participants receive instruction and opportunities for support by Program Facilitators as they practice using the skills being taught. The curriculum focuses on the development of the student's strengths and motivations. After an orientation session, eight sessions of the curriculum address development in school engagement, followed by eight sessions on peer relationships. Seven sessions address victimization, which features strategies for preventing bullying and violence among peers and self.

Who Are You?

I am who God says I am.

I can become exactly what God says I can become. 

You are a miracle. And that’s exactly what this Bible study for teen girls is about—your true identity in Christ. Who you really are. The culture will try to define you, your past may try to label you, the enemy will seek to deceive you, but no one has the authority to give you your name—your identity—except your Father. And He says that your uniqueness is an expression of His creative genius and is designed to reflect His glory.

This is a bible study for teens developed by  Priscilla Shirer.  In this teen Bible study for girls for sixteen weeks and begin to understand what it means to be created in God’s image and recreated in Christ’s image as His masterpiece. Once you discover who God says you are and the spiritual inheritance that you have, you can start walking in your true identity as a daughter of the most high King.
