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.

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
