What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Classroom Presentations
Our Middle School and High School classroom curriculum addresses the importance of making healthy, well-informed decisions. We provide students with up to date statistics, real-life stories and tools to help them think through the consequences of the choices they make when faced with common pressures related social media, academic stress, drugs, alcohol, prescription drug abuse and relationships.
School Assemblies
Grade School: Teen Esteem’s kindergarten-3rd grade assembly helps kids lay the groundwork for building community, inclusion, being kind to others and helping those who need it. Our 4th and 5th grade assembly addresses the importance of making healthy choices based on respect for self and others, especially as it relates to smoking, illegal drugs, prescription drugs and social media. We have a strong message around bullying, cyberbullying and the importance of being the kind of friend you would want your friends to be. Our engaging, interactive multi-media assembly prepares students for many challenges they may face in middle school.
Middle School: Our interactive, energetic, multi-media assembly gives students the tools needed to use cell phones, the internet and social media wisely. Assembly covers apps, sexting, cyberbullying and more. This assembly lays the groundwork for students to effectively respond to many of the challenges they face online.
High School: Our engaging, fast-paced, multi-media assembly gives schools the ability to reach thousands of students with an impactful message that changes lives. This assembly addresses academic pressure and influences from social media which can lead to stress, panic attacks, depression and in some cases, suicide. Teen Esteem empowers students to make wise choices related to drugs, alcohol and abuse of prescription drugs. We communicate to students that your choices matter and you can write a great story!

How we listen
Seeking feedback from people served makes programs more responsive and effective. Here’s how this organization is listening.
-

-
What significant change resulted from feedback?
After each classroom presentation, we collect anonymous student evaluations. These evaluations tell us the impact we are having on the kids we serve, including what they did or did not like about our presentations, as well as the issues they are currently struggling with (e.g., suicide, vaping, alcohol or drugs, social media, suicidal thoughts). Students are also allowed to provide their name and request to speak to a school counselor. This information is collated and documented and passed on to school administrators and parents, as well as our staff and speakers. In response to these evaluations, our programs are modified accordingly. Also, we pass our evaluations at our Parent Ed events and follow a similar process for assessing how impactful our programs were.
