Reality Check offers 1-day “Teen Seminars” that range in duration from one to three hours per student group. These seminars can be used as a kick-off, or as a later supplement, to the regular classroom program. Seminars are presented to groups of no more than 50 students at a time in order to maintain the personal rapport building that is achieved through the interactive presentation. The same presentation can be given to multiple groups of students at the same school in the same day. Potential topics to choose from include any combination of goals, relationships, boundary setting, risks of sexual intimacy (STD's, emotional risk), dating violence/sexual abuse, character/integrity concepts, maturity/hormones, healthy/unhealthy way to meet basic emotional needs, drugs/alcohol, pressures (media, peers, etc.) and the reproductive system.
