With prom just around the corner, LifeWise is thrilled to bring Jeffrey Dean, a renowned national youth speaker, to visit Madison area schools. He addresses issues that teens need answers to including self-esteem, divorce, bullying, sexting, dating, pornography, suicide, eating disorders and more.
Many teens feel added sexual pressure around prom season. They think that “everyone” is having sex and they have no choice but to do the same. LifeWise Healthy Relationships and Sexual Decision Making program is here to support teens in making healthy relationship choices on prom night and beyond.
LifeWise helps students to:
- · Become healthy and well-informed
- · Build skills they need to say no to risky behaviors
- · Make healthy relationship choices and delay sex until marriage and adulthood
Hundreds of Dane County middle and high school students have had the opportunity to hear the empowering message that it’s their right to postpone sexual activity, and many have said they wished they had realized sooner that they had a choice.
Jeffrey Dean will share a message that comes with making wise choices about the pressures that teens face. Rolling Stone Magazine says that Jeffrey’s “hold-nothing-back approach benefits teens for a lifetime!”
Jeffrey will be speaking in a few area schools including McFarland and Middleton High Schools, Abundant Life Christian School and Wisconsin Academy. He will also speak for a Youth Rally at High Point Church on Wednesday, April 30th at 7:00 pm. The public is invited.
