ABOUT
YOU CHOOSE
YOU CHOOSE takes an innovative, peer-led social-mission approach to changing attitudes and behaviours. Participants are placed into profound personal reflection about connections between their intentions, choices and actions, in context with their friends, loved ones and community. They are enabled to think critically about the effects of passivity inside their friendship groups, and to act on their protective instincts by exchanging permissions to speak up to each other in moments-that-matter. Outdated myths about 'bad-luck' and 'we've all done it', are replaced by agreed accountability to protect each other, our families and our communities from wholly preventable harm.
YOU CHOOSE
PROGRAM CONTENT
The YOU CHOOSE road-trauma and harm prevention program complements traditional compliance, skills, aversion and cautionary story-telling methods, with a socio-cultural framework that uplifts participants as ‘the solution’ to preventable trauma and harm – change agents within their social and familial groups.
An initial presentation phase is supported by 3 x in-class teacher delivered modules, including assessment and leadership resources. Content is professionally aligned to the Australian Curriculum, with independent academic evaluation for effectiveness using randomised controlled trials. A highly qualified YOU CHOOSE Teacher Support Manager is available to assist teachers with program facilitation to optimise outcomes.
Youth Advisors – teens who have recently participated in the program – ensure that relatability, authenticity and messaging are accurately calibrated for 15 to 18 year-olds.
