THE NEED
Youth today are bombarded with the buildup of hormonal, home, school, peer, media, and racial stress and now for so many the fear of police stress. Unfortunately, they catch the tail end of this moving beast called stress. The problem with the tail end of anything moving is that it whips, knocking down everything in its path. The stress beast places all youth at risk!
The message through the media is a "do whatever you want to do" feel good message that is toxic. This evil toxicity fuels what youth know, how they feel, and who they become. Decade to decade we've often dismiss this dark cycle as a part of a FAD culture, as if you go in, and come out of it. Unfortunately today, too many youth are not making it out alive.
It is imperative that we counter this evil agenda that is plaguing our youth with an overflow of character development. In these days, we must find creative ways to incorporate life skills into their daily diet.
WHO WE ARE (OUR VISION)
The Vision of CHOICES Motivational Services LLC (CMS) is to provide prevention, intervention and solution driven Individual and Group Life Coaching Services . Our group services are through comprehensive, interactive mental health projects and programs that are designed to address the behavior and character development of middle and high school students who are at risk of falling into early depression. Programs are currently held in the Houston, Texas area.
Our projects and programs incorporate psychodrama as a therapeutic element that opens youth up and gets them communicating. Our vision is to provide a solution to the crisis by training and encouraging youth to become healthy, strong, brave, bold and purposed youth who then positively impact their peers rather than having their peers negatively impacting them. Training youth to become a movement that will grow to provide the positive reinforcement needed to transform their community and the world.
A Six Week INTERACTIVE WORKSHOP with a Dramatic Arts Component
There are many ways to present this Comprehensive Behavioral Health Program. One most needed way is as a required after-school behavioral health treatment program for students who have a tendency to buck the system, etc... Although the modules can be delivered separately, topic by topic, it is most effective as a six week setting where they receive a daily dose of the information. Each topic comes with a dramatic arts component that is fun and engaging.
BASIC STRESS MANAGEMENT CLASS
This in-class room workshop/topical discussion group activity is interactive. We discuss "Overcoming Youth Stress"
Intensive Teen Drama Club
Is an 8 week fun and interactive character development after-school or summer youth program that uses the power of Psychodrama that is designed to awaken the "positive leader" within youth. Youth discuss topics, frame their own storyline and act in their own stage play production. We address teen topics such as; anger, fear, self-worth, bullying/conflict, self control, and suicide. This program uses a practical approach to bring awareness to the many CHOICES teens face daily.
