Healthy Visions engages students with topics that are relevant to them.

Self-Esteem and Stress Management

Healthy Visions believes that every teen is loveable and valuable. In this module, we discuss the importance of having healthy, high self-esteem. We help students to recognize their value, to identify their desires, and to dream big for a brighter future. We equip students with tools that empower them to set manageable goals and we give them practical insights that help them to better optimize and prioritize their time. We educate on healthy coping practices that reduce stress. Finally, we encourage youth to pursue optimal health by making wise choices and avoiding risky behaviors. Healthy Visions emphasizes with youth, knowing that the real risk to such behaviors is that they often only add stress to their lives, lower their self-esteem, and stand in the way of the future they truly desire for themselves.

Technology Talk

The Internet and social media are amazing tools that can enrich our lives if we use the tools properly. In this module, we educate students about the dangers of social media, while giving them insights on the constructive uses of technology that can empower them to pursue their dreams. We discuss the dangers of posting inappropriately, harming others through cyberbullying, and going online without taking necessary privacy precautions. We encourage our students to THINK, only posting things that are Truthful, Helpful, Inspiring, Necessary, and Kind. Finally, we empower students with best practices that will help them to not just navigate school successfully, but also increase their marketability for colleges and future employers in the job market.

Bullying & Conflict Resolution

Healthy Visions believes all students are worthy of respect. Unfortunately, many students do not feel respected in their day-to-day life because of a culture of drama, bullying, and unproductive conflict. In this presentation, we teach students what communication looks like when it is healthy and productive, what it looks like when it isn’t. We encourage them to take appropriate action when they are being bullied or when they witness bullying. We do this by equipping them with information, strategies, and tools that help them to communicate more clearly, effectively, and with more assertiveness. After we have established a solid foundation, we discuss bullying and social drama: The different forms it may take (whether in the classroom or online), and appropriate ways to respond that will empower students and de-escalate unhealthy conflict and social drama. We inspire our students by reminding them that since they are all worthy of respect, bullying should not be the norm within their community. We remind them to be proactive; it is not enough to simply react to bullying. Students need to be empowered to create a culture of kindness, respect, and trust that fosters community and uproots bullying at the source.
