Interactive Workshops for Adolescents

Making Tough Decisions (MTD)

The Making Tough Decisions program (MTD) is a series of conversations designed to strengthen the decision making abilities of students at a middle school or high school level. I designed it to be interactive, not a series of “boring lectures” but a collaborative process in which teens are encouraged to give their opinion and challenge points of views so they experience the difficulties of making decisions in life.


  • Suggested for teens 7th grade and above
  • Use of video, worksheets, activities and discussions to engage  teenagers to give their opinion, question the information and consider  their personal, ethical and moral values. Meant to encourage dialogue  about the pro’s and con’s, risks and benefits of all the alternatives in  a given topic.
  • Designed to empower them about their ability to make healthy decisions

Workshop can be customized from 5 to 15 sessions covering the following subjects:

  • Welcome to the teen brain: adolescence and impulsivity.
  • Resisting the influence of media in our decisions: messages from magazines, music, videos.
  • Values: What do I stand for? What do I believe in?
  • Bullying: Being assertive: the secret to reduce chances of being bullied.
  • Internet, social media and “Cyberworld” safety (Taking care of your digital print, sexting, overcoming cyber-bullying)
  • Substances: Alcohol, Tobacco, “soft” and “hard” drugs. 
    • Why are teens so curious about them?
    • More useful approaches to “Just say no”.
    • Street names, synthetic and designer drugs.
  • Healthy relationships and healthy choices
  • Human Sexuality, 
    • Puberty
    • Human reproductive system
    • The decision to have sex or not
    • Contraceptives
    • Taking care of your body (STD’s and other health risks)
