Official synopsis Publisher
“The number one rule of doctors is First do no harm. Counselors, teachers, facilitators, and anybody who works with youth should follow that guideline.” Changing the Message
The importance of prevention cannot be underrated when working with youth; however, many prevention programs currently rely on scare tactics and statistic repetition. Changing the Message instead offers an experiential approach to prevention that is based on the naturopathic approach to disease, which views ailments as imbalance in the system, and in which the individual actively contributes to health and healing.
Fun, entertaining activities that demonstrate the importance of a safe and healthy lifestyle from communication and trust in relationships to healthy methods of coping with conflict and hardship build a prevention curriculum that excites participants to engage themselves in the process of learning about and living a disease-free lifestyle. Changing the Message favors prevention, offers healing processes, and directs youth toward strong life choices.
