Overview

Bullying. Exclusion. Drugs. Alcohol. Body image. Self-esteem. Abuse. Divorce. Cutting. Depression. Suicide. Teens, their parents and the adults who work with them are confronted with these issues every day, but few have the tools or insight for how to deal with the mounting pressure and social dynamics that drive so many to hurt themselves and others. Having reached over 4 Million teens throughout the U.S. and Canada with TEEN TRUTH, their catalytic program and student driven film series, Christopher and Pohl have delved into the complex landscape that is the teen experience. With compelling personal stories from their experiences on the road, research-driven data that illustrates key concepts of social psychology, and hands-on exercises that explore why we do what we do, Christopher and Pohl provide teens and the adults who care for them with a well-structured, comprehensive tool for self-discovery. One part instructive, one part reflective and one part active, the TEEN TRUTH book is a recipe for change and a blueprint for building safer schools and healthier communities. This focused guide will: - help teens understand why they make the decisions they do - teach teens how to be more aware of their actions in group settings - illustrate the power of individual beliefs and their impact on relationships - give adults the tools to listen to and connect authentically with today's youth We all have a choice in how we show up in the world. Christopher and Pohl aren't afraid to ask the critical question: if you're not being the difference, what are you doing?
