"Studies show that teens look to adults more than to friends or to the media for relationship guidance. But even knowing this, it’s still challenging to know what to say, and how to say it."

Recognizing how hard it can be to address topics like sex and healthy relationships with youth, Be Strong International teaches effective communication about risky behaviors.
Our 60-minute workshop analyzes attitudes, perceptions, practices, and the decision-making processes of parents and teens about sexual activity and more. It’s designed to:
• Reinforce the importance of discussions about healthy relationships
• Recognize and overcome communication barriers
• Provide opportunities to practice having tough conversations
Get Ready to Talk
Ready to Talk functions under the Raising the B.A.R. program and has evolved from one workshop to a series of different workshops
Encouraging Youth About Avoiding Risky Sexual Behaviors
Lonely Hearts Club series (Topics: Social Risk, Breakups, Jealousy, and Rejections)
Keeping Our Youth Safe on Social Media
We Keep it Light
Parents who attend our “Ready to Talk” workshop have different values and comfort levels, and we cater to that knowledge. We give adults the tools and resources they need to address healthy relationships while maintaining a non-threatening, supportive environment.
