Programs for Adults

Small groups of 6 to 10 parents, adults, and professionals come together in discussion circles to read and synthesize the best resources about youth issues. Sharing problems and solutions in a safe setting offers much needed support and reminds parents that they are still the most influential factor in a child's life.

All the Rage Discussion Circles

Developed by The Ophelia Project®, All the Rage educates parents and adults about today's youth culture and relational aggression, discusses healthy decision-making related to relational aggression, introduces helpful resources, and creates much-needed connections between adults. The topics of the five weekly sessions are:

• How does it (relational aggression) work?
• Who's involved?
• What's the big deal?
• How can we help?
• What's our job?

The Seven Cries of Today's Teens

Based on Timothy Smith's book by the same name, this eight-session discussion group covers the top seven needs of teens:

• the need to be trusted
• the need to be understood and loved
• the need to feel safe and secure
• the need to believe life is meaningful and has a purpose
• the need to be listened to, to be heard
• the need to be appreciated and valued
• the need to be supported in their efforts

73% of youth do not have meaningful relationships with adults.

80% do not believe adults in the community value them.

63% do not have the assets (skills and knowledge) to resist negative peer pressure." (The Search Institute)
