Education for a Lifetime
Want to prevent abortions?
It starts with healthy relationships
The number of students who strongly agree that sexual risk avoidance leads to healthier outcomes increases by 65% after the training.
Student Outreach
Education for a Lifetime (EFL) leads our Prevention efforts by educating local students on healthy relationships and mental health through public and private high school presentations. Each year, more than 6,000 students receive classroom presentations that affirm their value and educate them on building healthy relationships.
Inspiring Healthy Relationships
Trained volunteers, local physicians, and our staff present a curriculum called Pursue in public and private schools. This highly interactive program covers living a life by design, healthy relationships, developing wisdom through critical thinking, seeing value in oneself, showing courage to stand up for oneself and others, and committing to a strong foundation for one’s future.
Who Can Relate?
In the fall semester of 2018, we launched a new program in area high schools called Who Can Relate. This curriculum is a presentation on the issue of teen suicide, working to release the stigma surrounding conversations on mental health. Students are asked to consider three questions as part of the training:
- Who needs you?
- Where do you find your value?
- Who loves you?
As students reflect on their answers to these questions, their risk of suicide decreases and their optimum health outcome increases.
Who Can Relate?
In addition to school programs, we offer parent talks through churches and community organizations to prepare and educate parents.
