THE PURPOSE
Now more than ever, teenagers are in desperate need of conversations around the important topics. The complexities of growing up in a digital world means that young people can be facing new challenges today that are different to the challenges faced by previous generations. It’s crucial that we educate, empower and equip teens to be confident in making healthy decisions in this space.
THE COURSE
THE EDUCATORS
TeenBrave is designed to equip teachers to engage with their students around some of the most important topics that teenagers are navigating today. Our hope is that teachers will feel confident to host helpful and powerful conversations with their students. Our teenBRAVE course is built with a focus on strengthening pastoral relationship between staff and students.
Founders and Directors of Your Choicez, David (Bachelor of Theology) and Katie Kobler (Advanced Diploma of Psychological Science) are on a mission to provide education to teenagers around topics that are often avoided. With an extensive background in youth work, youth communication and leadership, they have developed a team of highly skilled, effective and passionate communicators and educators who are engaging teens all across Australia in this time of need.
The combination of research-based content, high quality programs and excellent speakers with a strong ability to connect with young people, has led to some of the most powerful, life changing programs available on these topics today.
Their honesty and openness in drawing on their own life experiences, alongside some of the best research available, allows them to deliver a truly unique and exceptional presentation. With their personal touch and sensitive approach, teachers will leave encouraged, parents will leave inspired and students will leave empowered to not just survive their teen years but to flourish in what could possibly be the greatest years of their lives.
With as little as one lesson a week, we provide students with the right education about taboo topics like sexuality and relationships.
Each module contains 5 teenBRAVE videos. The videos include research, science, stories and anecdotes to educate young people and help them consider their choices around the topics we are discussing. You can expect the combined length of each module to be between 29 and 31 minutes.
