I'm Worried about my teen...

The Connection Institute is pleased to be able to offer several different Parent-Teen Events to help you and your teen deal with these tough issues regarding sex, love and relationships. These events are designed to promote communication between parents and their teenage children, as well as instilling a strong message of purity in each participant. We have several different event formats to choose from: 

  1. “Taking Them Back”- This parents-only event is to teach parents the best way to talk to their kids about sex, dating, media issues, abstinence, and self-esteem. Parents will leave with educational materials and a strong desire to influence their kids in a new way.
  2. “Real Solutions”- This is an event for the whole family- ages 7th grade and up. Through interactive games, personality tests, and speakers, the family members will gain a deeper appreciation of each other, as well as being able to better communicate with their own unique styles.
  3. Mother/Daughter and Father/Son Retreats- These retreats are designed to allow parents and their same-gender children to grow closer together while learning new ways to communicate about difficult issues in their lives. Participants will love the engaging speakers and activities, and will leave with a renewed bond in their relationship.

If you are interested in scheduling one of these events, please call us at (417) 624-4470.

In addition to our Parent/Teen Events, CI sends trained presenters into the public schools to teach our abstinence only curriculum, Virtuous Reality™, to grades 6-9.  VR is a compilation of 2 curricula that we love with a few twists of our own.  To take a peek at the curricula abstracts, click here.
