Kate's Most Requested Programs:

Healthy teens, healthy decisions—Victorious Future: 

What teens & their parents need to know and nobody’s talkin’ about. Teens today are bombarded with negative, explicit images on relationships and self image like never before! This creates confusion and mixed messages on what it means to be ‘female.’ You will gain valuable resources and useful approaches for helping teens develop insights into healthy decisions, healthy boundaries and sense of self. The dialogue skills will open the door to healthy communication. This program will be adapted for just teens, just parents or a combined audience. 

Relationship violence – there is HOPE!: 

This is America’s last great societal issue to develop open and hopeful dialogue for the betterment of our communities. With 1 in 4 women affected, this issue touches 25% of our communities, including our children. This program will provide tools and resources to promote communication ease, because openness in dialogue is the first step in progress. This program is inspirational and hopeful! The experience will change you!
