As a educator, I recognize that the growing years are a critical time for becoming an active participant in the world, acquiring social skills, establishing values, developing interests and passions, and learning to cope with the depth and breadth of one's emotions. Young people who depend on alcohol or other drugs to relieve limiting beliefs about themselves, boredom, have fun, reduce anxiety, o
r deal with feelings may never develop these capabilities on their own. The course gives teenagers the opportunity to discover and redesign the limiting beliefs they have about themselves and others. It’s these self-imposed limitations that keep them from fully achieving their maximum capabilities. This redesign allows them to pursue their dreams and goals with new freedom and passion. In the GYP course the participants also begin to create a solid foundation of powerful tools that they will be able to take with them and use for the rest of their lives. The Three or Four-Day Programs are based on the latest research. I am committed to educating young people about the risks and realities of bullying, eating disorders, alcohol, to***co, and other drug use. But with your help, I am confident that we can provide the next generation with the knowledge, and social skills they need to become healthy, responsible adults.
