I feel equipped to effectively communicate and educate our students; to empower them with skills propelling them forward to a confident, healthy, and successful future. I wish I had been taught this information and these skills when I was young. This is moving and hopeful material for our youth!

Our facilitators have implemented many of the activities in this tool kit and the training was extremely beneficial for those just coming into the SRA field.

We have been presenting the REAL Essentials curriculum in the Onslow County schools, and community for over a year. The program is “life changing” for our young people and some adults that are involved. The focus on healthy relationships and self awareness is what lures the young people in; when we present the personality profile, many of our young people have never been asked or introduced to who they really are as a person View More

This program gives students the tools they need to sharpen their interpersonal skills and gives them the confidence to succeed.

We have been using CRE’s curricula for 5+ years now, and REAL Essentials has served us well. REAL Essentials is relevant, fun, and comprehensive in its material about healthy relationships. The Power Points are colorful and engaging, the activities are creative and memorable. Joneen and her staff have been View More

We are about to launch our Relationship Education “course” in our middle school (grades 6-8) and are extremely excited about the next few months. Having gone through the training, our staff feels well-equipped to start “getting REAL” with students about areas that we have previously shied away from in the past. The training is FABULOUS and Joneen and Lauren were incredibly informative, engaging, and helpful in making this View More
