# Parent Resources

#### Hello Parents

##### We know you care about your children and always want what is best for them.

##### If you are interested in tools and knowledge to help your child navigate the social-emotional side of life, we encourage you to explore these resources.

##### These resources come from trusted organizations that help parents with a range of social-emotional topics: from helping teens avoid risky behaviors and relationships to the appropriate use of technology to coping with unexpected life changes.

##### Healthy Visions offers schools and families a coordinated set of evidence-based classes, assemblies, and small-group programs that build students’ relationship skills, emotional resilience, and safer decision-making around technology, sex, and peer pressure.

## Welcome, Parents and Caregivers

 Healthy Visions partners with schools to help students grow socially, emotionally, and mentally so they can pursue a happy, healthy, and hopeful future.

This page is designed to give parents an overview of what students experience in our programs and practical tools you can use at home.​

---

## What Your Teen Is Learning

 Through weekly classroom programs, assemblies, and specialized curricula, students learn how to:

- Build **healthy** relationships and avoid toxic or abusive patterns in dating and friendships.
- Manage stress, big emotions, and the impact of trauma using practical, brain-based coping skills.
- Navigate technology, social media, and online drama safely and responsibly, including strategies to prevent cyberbullying.
- Make informed choices about sex, consent, and pregnancy prevention, including practicing how to say “no” and commit to sexual delay.
- Set SMART goals, strengthen self-esteem, and connect daily choices to their long-term dreams.

 These themes appear across our evidence-based curricula (such as Love Notes SRA, Mind Matters, TYRO Youth, and Choosing the Best), as well as our 5-day classroom modules, assemblies, and small-group offerings.​

## **How Parents Can Support at Home**

 Parents are the most influential teachers in a young person’s life, and Healthy Visions aims to equip you, not replace you. Here are ways to build on what your teen is   learning:​

- **Talk about relationships**
  
    - Ask what they are hearing about respect, boundaries, and consent in class, and share your expectations and values calmly and clearly.
    - Use TV, music, or social media examples to discuss what healthy vs. unhealthy relationships look like.
- **Practice emotional skills together**
  
    - Normalize conversations about stress, anxiety, and big feelings; ask, “What do you do that helps when you feel overwhelmed?”
    - Try simple regulation strategies as a family, such as deep breathing, taking a walk, or unplugging from screens before bed.
- **Guide tech and social media use**
  
    - Set shared expectations about devices, privacy, and posting, using the THINK guideline as a family rule.
    - Check in regularly about online drama, bullying, or unsafe situations, and make it clear your teen can come to you without fear of overreaction.
- **Reinforce goals and hope**
  
    - Help your teen set SMART goals around school, work, and relationships, and celebrate progress, not perfection.
    - Remind them often that they are lovable, valuable, and worthy, even when they make mistakes.
