How does it address the developmental needs of adolescents?
The stories weve chosen aim right at the heart of adolescent developmental needs, especially the need to establish their own identities in the context of family expectations, peer culture, media pressure, and other influences. We also acknowledge the importance of making choices at this age. The Real Stories program gives teens (and staff) the chance to explore many different themes, and to match the stories and activities they use to the interests of their group.
