Teen Seminar

PROPEL: Essential Life Skills for Life Beyond High School

for Teens 14 – 18

High schools are amazing at teaching your child about how to get into college, but they do not work on the tools your child needs to succeed in college and beyond. As parents, you may be wondering how you are going to make sure your child learns everything they need to know before they head off to college or the working world. Your teen doesn’t want to listen to you tell them how to manage their money or fold their laundry. Do you want to make sure you child has the skills and tools they need to succeed as an adult? PROPEL is a unique program specifically designed to teach life skills that will increase their confidence when they are off on their own.

Topics covered include:

• Changes: new roles with family, friends, and your new self
• Money management, job skills, and taking care of business
• Time management and organizational skills
• Stress management
• The Freshman 15: health, nutrition, and exercise
• The 3 S's: sexuality, sexual assault prevention, and substance use/abuse
• Mental Health 101
