We utilize The Center for Relationship Education's REAL Essentials Advance which is the country’s leading relationship education curriculum. It is specifically designed to teach young people skills for combating challenges they face in adolescence. Lesson content captivates the heart and directs students toward positive decision making. The sexual health components of REAL Essentials Advance are SRA (Sexual Risk Avoidance) approved. We will be learning through a hands-on and collaborative approach during class sessions. PowerPoints will be shown, but kept to a minimum and used as a guide for discussion.

We piloted this program at Northside High School in Houston County and are scheduled to enter Jones County High School in early 2021. We have availability to enter additional schools and counties in 2021.

Each school will decide how they are most comfortable with the presentation of the material they choose for the program at their school.

PASS is taught in a classroom setting when possible, but assembly presentations are available as well. Our preferred method is in the classroom setting as the curriculum is most effective if each student is able to answer questions, collaborate with others, and debrief when necessary.

The PASS Initiative is free of charge and offers many options for lesson content. This flexibility allows our content to fit into many different subject areas including elective classes. We will be happy to schedule a meeting with you and your team, either electronically or in person, to customize our presentation to meet your content choices and schedule needs.

Yes, due to liability and in case of emergencies, a staff member must be present in the classroom while the PASS team member is presenting.

Our instructors bring all materials needed for activities.
