“It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men.”
Here are five ways CYP’s programs can be implemented to meet your needs:
1. As a Social Emotional/LIfe skills building program to support youth to develop health decision making skills for school, life, and work. We can offer a program to you free of charge through our grant funded project, Hope Rising Shasta.
We offer variety of nationally recognized evidence-based and evidence-informed programs to help youth navigate complexities of different relationships in life. We recognize that one program does not fit all and we offer programs for a wide range of different youth population. Hope Rising Shasta program can be offered at no cost to the school through our grant funding. Click here to find out about Hope Rising Shasta Project.
- As a program to fulfill the requirements of California Healthy Youth Act (CHYA)****.
CYP is excited to announce that we are offering a brand new curriculum called, HEART: Healthy Education and Relationship Training. This program meets all Ed Code requirements and builds risk elimination and primary prevention skills while supporting mainstream family values. It is being piloted since 2019-2020 school year. This curriculum is available for free and the teacher training can be completed through an online webinar. Please note that our educators do not come out to teach this curriculum. The school has to designate their own educator to teach it. Click here to learn more about the curriculum. For inservice training information click here.
- As a parallel program to an existing Comprehensive Sex Ed program to address the need for risk avoidance and risk cessation strategies.
Our programs cover many of the areas mandated in CHYA. If you are looking for a program that can supplement your CHYA requriments in the area of specific communication, relationship, conflict management, risk avoidance, and risk cessation skills, please contact us.
- As an alternative program for parents, schools and students who are opting out of existing Comprehensive Sex Education.
If your school wants to provide an alternative program for its students, please contact us.
