Positive Life Choices
Make the right choice!
What happens to you is 99% how you choose to respond to it. In today's culture, with so much pressure put on physical appearance and the need to fit in, many students are willing to sacrifice what they believe in because being accepted is more important than who they truly are. As a result, many turn to extreme measures to fill these self and media-made voids, by taking part in abusive habits. This program targets a variety of potentially fatal outlets youth have latched onto such as Substance Abuse, Eating Disorders, Cutting and Suicide to name a few, and looks to replace these negative actions with positive ones by making them more aware about the seriousness of the effects these unhealthy practices can have on themselves and others. Both the beauty and tragedy of life is that everything is a choice, but just one wrong decision could be your last. In addition to an increased awareness about these unsafe patterns, creative replacements are offered as a means of dealing with the weight of everyday society and peer influences, and a way of raising feelings of self-esteem and self-worth.
