TEEN FUTURES programs are grounded in therapeutic principles, empathic listening and building trust with teens to help them find their own voice. TEEN FUTURES focuses on primary prevention which is proven to have significant impact on a wide range of risk behaviors. We are guided by the model of developmental assets, as we want to recognize and build upon the internal and external strengths of our participants. We believe that through our relationships, dialogue, and gentle challenging, teens will gain an expanded vision of possibility for their future.
