>> OUR APPROACH


    PEOPLE MAKE AN IMPACT. This belief fuels the Stop and Think^® approach to abstinence education. Every day, teens are wrestling with difficult decisions. What these teens want, more than statistics, more than slides, is a connection. The teens of today may forget numbers tomorrow. They will, however, remember the type of person the presenter was and what they stood for. Stop and Think^® presenters not only introduce students to life-changing ideas, they introduce students to themselves. By being authentic, honest, and direct, Stop and Think^® presenters make an impact. People make an impact. This is the Stop and Think^® approach.

    For three to five days Stop and Think^® goes into middle and high school classrooms to discuss the realities of sex. In an open, non-judgmental manner presenters guide students through three critical-thinking skills that are intended to help students make sober, educated life decisions.

    Whether or not a student chooses to be sexually active, Stop and Think's^® goal is to help students feel responsible for their decisions. In our experience, Stop and Think^® presenters have a way of encouraging students not only to "own" their decisions, but also to make those decisions in a better, safer, and healthier fashion.

>> OUR MISSION STATEMENT



    Stop and Think^® is an interactive, realistic and optimistic abstinence program, presented with a relational, positive, and non-judgmental approach that is respectful of each student's ability to make healthy decisions.
