REAL Value, REAL Impact

Improves
relationship IQ

REAL Essentials equips you to confidently tackle difficult relationship topics with ease. Your voice matters, and people are eager to hear from you how to develop healthy connections and experience real love.

More than
sex ed

REAL Essentials compliments any sex ed program. Using the "Whole Person" approach, it nurtures the body, mind and heart, rather than only focusing on sexual behavior.

Scientifically
proven

Content is aligned with research and supported by ongoing partnership with the University of Denver. Activities are taught to each group with developmentally age-appropriate messaging.

Laugh out
loud fun!

Participants are energized by hands-on, engaging, learn-by-doing experiences, leaving each with memorable moments they can immediately apply in day-to-day life.

No need to
be negative

Scare tactics aren't motivating. REAL Essentials teaches toward the positive rather than away from the negative. Using this method, individuals are motivated to achieve their best, not to feel their worst.

Make it
personal

Whether teaching one class period, or a full semester, our binder design allows you to organize lessons for different settings and time frames. This structure allows teachers to customize topics and timing so that what works best for you, works best for your students.
