Programs Offered that can be offered on request

Safe Dates - A researched based curriculum focused on teenagers. The curriculum goes over health and unhealthy relationships talking about physical and emotional abuse, red flags, how to get help, how to help a friend, managing conflict and anger, good communication skills and how to protect yourself from sexual abuse. Teens explore what they think is acceptable in a dating relationship and what their own opinions are when it comes to dating. By having teens go through this curriculum, it helps prepare them for dating and situations they might encounter in their future. For more information or to book these lessons contact Anne at 316-284-6930. (worksheets for Facebook Video)

Family Board Game Night - Get together and play board games! Playing board games helps youth and adults communicate with each other, build connection and better overall health. Contact Anne to get a Board Game night hosted at your local event! 

Kid Connections - This afterschool program will help youth, specifically middle school age youth, with soft skills. Soft skills for example are relationship building, learning about how to communicate effectively and cope with emotions.
