Designed for Students: Educate and Empower
BeAlert® to Social Media
We expose vulnerabilities (loneliness, isolation, depression, suicide ideation, cyberbullying, loneliness, sexting, sextortion, pornography, slavery, pimps, traffickers, spotters, domestic minor sex trafficking) that are easily exploited in students via social media and gaming. These often lead to exploitation that include sexual exploitation and domestic minor sex trafficking (DMST).
Students are educated about this reality and empowered to be safe and keep others safe. The most effective school presentations are the high energy assembly style format heavily dependent on good audio and visual support. A dual track presentation is successful in many settings where caring adults receive training in the same facility simultaneously with the students. At the end of these "dual track’ presentations the students and adults gather for a closing session designed to keep everyone on the same page. All students fill out confidential surveys that provide insight into this reality.
BeAlert® to Pornography
We uncover the truth about pornography. Students are educated on the dangerous and progressive nature of pornography and empowered to thrive in healthy relationships. The presentation style is similar to that of the social media presentations.
