Our in-person programs are as follows:
YES Wellness Education Speakers are professionally trained employees, and the majority are SRA certified. Speakers use the same material though some illustrations may vary. Audiences receive the same pertinent information regardless of the assigned speaker.
Our programs are developed using an evidence-based research approach. We review and update our programs annually for up-to-date research and statistics.
Our TEKS Checklists are provided at SHAC meetings to all members and can be emailed upon request. Our programs are 1 hour in length, and it would be impossible to cover all of the Sexual Health TEKS effectively in this amount of time. With direction from our Professional Advisory Board our programs were developed to effectively communicate these messages to students.
We offer parent information templates with opt-in forms. Schools are not required to use the templates we offer. However, we ask that schools maintain consistency with our messaging if they choose to create their own forms. A parent preview program is also provided to equip parents and inform them of what their child will learn.
For parents who are unable to attend the parent preview program, written program synopses are available upon request.
While our sexual risk avoidance programs do not focus on the components included in HB 3908, known as Tucker’s Law, we do offer a drug and alcohol prevention program that would help your campus or district address this topic. Please contact our team for more information on our drug and alcohol prevention programs, and how we specifically address fentanyl.
We affirm to ALL students that they have amazing dreams and goals, and ALL students are subject to being distracted by sex. So, no matter a student’s sexual orientation or how they identify, all information about how to avoid the risks of sexual activity applies to every student.
We do not address transgender students specifically but remind students that the information in our programs is pertinent to all students regardless of how they identify.
To invite us to present to your SHAC or to learn more about our programs, fill out the form below and a Youth Equipped to Succeed representative will respond to you promptly. We look forward to hearing from you!
