The Real High School Orientation
This three-session program is for those who identify as young men and who are entering or just completing 9th grade. See Workshop Outline [link]
From André:
Years ago, I asked each of my children what information they needed to enter and manage the high school. Their answers were all consistent—Sex, Drugs, Reputation, and Bullies. Now that I have grandchildren, I ask them the same questions, and the answers are the exact same—How do I deal with the pressures of sex, drugs, fitting in, and the people who try to manipulate, make fun of, or bully me?

From Dorian:
If I had received this program before I started high school, I would have avoided a panic attack on the first day of orientation. I regularly work in high schools, but there are limitations for what I can address. With care and sensitivity, André and I will share what students really need to know before starting high school so they can avoid becoming overwhelmed and resorting to unhealthy methods to numb out and self-medicate.

Conor thoroughly enjoyed speaking with you and was very inspired…He described it as “powerful, mind-breaking and life-changing.” Before today, Conor had a lot of anxiety about starting high school and now he’s excited. Thank you so much!
