THE BURDEN

“The most intact, undisturbed wild natural areas left on our planet – those last truly wild places that humans do not control and have not developed with roads, pipelines or other industrial infrastructure.”The WILD Foundation

What does it look like for you to truly enter the wild with teens?What holds you back?

Oh, oh, oh!

Let's go fly a kite

Up to the highest height!

Let's go fly a kite and send it soaring

Up through the atmosphere

Up where the air is clear

Oh, let's go fly a kite!

THE 3 STEPS TO PERSONALIZED PREVENTION

C.P.R.

1st STEP: CRYSTALLIZE

Good information comes in small

packages.

information is...INEFFECTIVE

“It’s sort of unfair to expect them to have adult levels of organizational skills or decision making before their brain is finished being built.”Jay Giedd, Neuroscientist

“Imagination is more important than knowledge.”Albert Einstein

information is...IMPERSONAL

Who changed you?

Disneyland is a “mythical land. And now it’s this maybe land. And after this it’s going to be this real place.”

Abstract (mythical)

Concrete(real)

information is...BORING

“There are very few people who do not become more interesting when they stop talking.”Mary Lowry
