S.T.A.R. Teens is a curriculum that builds confidence and resilience in teens and promotes strong, supportive relationships between adults and teens.
The program can be delivered either as a mentoring program, one caring adult or mentor working with one child, or in small group relationships established between adults and youth. The expectation is set that we are all achievers and have within us the ability to achieve great and wonderful things. We recognize and build on the strengths of each individual, and in this environment, children flourish. “Excellent—very realistic and practical. You convey your ideas with great clarity and insight, qualities that make it easier for adults and the teens with whom they work to understand the importance of self-efficacy, dreams, goal-setting, and resilience. I was very pleased to see that you included chapters about gratitude, unique gifts, and everyday heroes. You have captured so many significant themes.” Robert Brooks, Ph.D. Resilience, Self-esteem, Motivation and Family Relationships S.T.A.R. Teens has been designed in such a way that anyone who believes in kids and their ability to achieve can successfully facilitate the program. The materials include a Mentor Guide, Teen Guides and Coaching Guidelines. The Mentor Guide and Teen Guide carry the content and the Coaching Guidelines provide recommendations and suggestions for working with the children and maximizing the effectiveness of the program. “The middle school years are critical in terms of building children's resilience and self-esteem. I highly recommend S.T.A.R. Teens as a vehicle to build self-esteem, and self-reliance in your middle school child.” Sue Blaney, Author/Author/Consultant Please Stop the Rollercoaster!
