In the Classroom

"By empowering the kids we teach,
we inspire them to live a life worth living."

WHAT DO WE DO?

Through an open classroom format, the Teen HEART Peer Education Program

• helps teens understand the physical, mental and emotional consequences of unhealthy decisions.
  
  
• teaches refusal skills to use with confidence when faced with negative peer pressure.
  
  
• demonstrates how relationships built on trust, respect and other core values can
  be fulfilling in a person's life.
  
  
• shows how parents and adult mentors can be a great asset in helping youth reach short-term and long-term goals.
