“Alive & Well has helped me become stronger emotionally.”
5 Session Program & the Importance of Trusted Adults
In every lesson Alive & Well instructors explain how important it is for teens to have trusted adults in their lives to share struggles with. At the end of each lesson they are given a parent-talk homework assignment designed to open up the lines of communication between parent and child.
“Alive & Well has made me want to talk about my problems.”
Surveys and Reports
Before we go into each school, students fill out an anonymous online survey so we can retrieve valuable information about their class’s specific struggles. After all sessions are complete, students take an anonymous post-Alive & Well survey that reveals what they have learned. Survey results are compiled into a report that is sent to school administration and teachers.
“Alive & Well has helped me to understand that my opinions matter.”

We strive to educate, inspire and empower young people, through highly interactive programs, to make healthy choices that will positively impact their physical, emotional, mental, social, and spiritual well-being. This impact is made through a classroom setting (5th grade through high school), where we teach students the lesson for the day. Topics include:
Abstinence
Career Preparation
Conflict Resolution
Creating Healthy Relationships
Cyberbullying
Effective Communication
Empathy
Goal Setting
Internet Safety

Self-Discipline
Sex Trafficking
Sexting

and SO MUCH MORE!
These topics are taught through engaging lessons which include relevant videos, class discussion, interactive demonstrations and classroom prizes. After each lesson, the student receives a Parent Talk homework assignment that is designed to be comp[leted with their parents. In this way, the conversations that are brought up in class can be continued at home.

Our Vision Statement
Alive & Well exists to partner with parents, educators and youth workers in order to equip young people with the skills needed to make healthy lifestyle choices. While peers and society often pressure youth to become involved in impulsive, risky behaviors, we encourage them to make informed, wise decisions.
With an emphasis on sexual abstinence until marriage and whole person health, Alive & Well specializes in providing engaging, interactive programs that speak to teens on their own level. We encourage young people to treat others with respect, set goals, resist negative peer pressure, employ positive coping mechanisms and seek help from trusted adults.
These programs are used by schools to meet a variety of state and national standards. Through a combination of in-class instruction, parent/teen activities and online support, students are encouraged to keep their futures in mind when making decisions that will affect themselves, their community and the world.
“Through Alive & Well, I feel like I finally have a voice.”
