Thrive

A Healthy Relationships Curriculum for Teens & Young Adults

After years in the making, we are thrilled to be able to share our healthy relationships curriculum, Thrive, with you and your students. It can be used in both Christian and secular settings, just take out the verses and prayers as you work through it if that is more appropriate for the setting you are presenting in.

Unlike many curriculums that our staff has come in contact with in the past, this curriculum has more to do with setting life goals and learning how to think critically than it is about purity - knowing that the decisions and actions that teens take now can affect the rest of their lives.

This curriculum is FREE for you to use, either in full or as a jumping-off point for the topics covered. We pray that it is valuable for your students.
