The IMPACT program aims to empower youth in Jefferson and Madison Counties with positive youth development tools to become healthy and successful. IMPACT focuses on various areas including, job readiness, bullying prevention, suicide prevention and awareness, social media and internet safety, adolescent brain, developing healthy friendships, parent/teen communication methods, youth leadership, goal setting, stress management, coping skills, community involvement, strength building, and skill cultivation. Learning more about these topic areas strengthens the path to success, creating healthy citizens in areas of family, work, and community.
The IMPACT Program also hosts adult classes to bridge the gap between youth and adults through a toolbox of topic areas such as developing effective communication skills, helping youth cope with jealousy with peers, create independence through guided social risk by guiding youth to make healthy decisions, and assisting youth with breakups and jealousy.
IMPACT’s certified health educators are available to set-up adult (Staff, parent/guardian, teachers) and/or youth (ages 11to 19) classes at churches, private/charter/public schools, and/or mentoring groups today.
