Empowering Youth Through Self-Awareness: A Comprehensive Curriculum for Emotional Growth, Skill Development, and Positive Behavioral Transformation

Immerse yourself in the transformative journey of True Self, a comprehensive curriculum designed to challenge and inspire young individuals. This curriculum fosters self-awareness by addressing the profound impact of trauma and the importance of healthy relationships. It lays the foundation for trust, honesty, and vulnerability, essential elements for personal growth and development.

True Self offers a range of differentiated exercises aimed at cognitive re-education, habit change, skill-building, emotional management, and decision-making skills. These exercises are tailored to help participants navigate their emotions, develop new habits, and make informed decisions. The curriculum is complemented by the presence of a trusted coach, who provides guidance and support throughout the journey.

The curriculum is designed for a classroom setting, creating an inclusive and equitable community. It encourages participants to feel accepted and comfortable, fostering an environment conducive to the development of positive and trusting relationships. This sense of community is instrumental in helping participants feel secure and supported as they navigate their journey to self-awareness.

True Self incorporates the Stages of Change (Transtheoretical Model), a powerful tool that empowers at-risk youth to identify their own lagging skills and build on their strengths. This model is pivotal in helping participants transition from previously self-destructive behaviors to a new sense of self-determination.

True Self is more than just a curriculum; it's a transformative journey that empowers youth to understand and address their trauma, develop healthy relationships, and build a foundation of trust, honesty, and vulnerability. It's a tool that equips them with the skills they need to navigate their emotions, change their habits, make informed decisions, and ultimately, transform their lives. Embark on the journey of True Self and witness the power of self-awareness and personal transformation.
