We Take Things Importantly Not Seriously
Here at WBA we believe that sexuality education is far more than lessons in biology, puberty, sexual behavior, and reproduction. It is an opportunity to illuminate and emphasize students’ rights, responsibility, and respect for self and others. Standing for “puberty, reproduction, empowerment, and perspective”, P.R.E.P. Beyond equips students with the life skills required to care for one’s own emotional and physical health, as well as the health and well-being of others, while engaging in platonic, sexual, and romantic relationships.
What Makes Us Different
School-Based Programming and Customizable Community Based Workshops Available
It Takes Village
P.R.E.P. Beyond programming is an opportunity for youth to experience comfort while engaging with parents/Trusted Adults around oftentimes uncomfortable or awkward topics, rewriting the narrative of youth’s disengagement from adults when it comes to navigating adolescence.
In a world where young people are inundated by media, often entertainment is mistaken for education. Our professional Health Educators deliver medically accurate, mental health informed education to students and the adults who raise and care for them. Yet, when it comes to sexuality education “one size does NOT fit all”. Creating a partnership with schools, parents and caregivers allows the foundational information taught in P.R.E.P. Beyond classes to be infused with the beliefs and values of the individuals and communities we serve.
Responsive Design
Growing up is more complex than ever. In response to the most current research on adolescent development and over 20 years of firsthand clinical experience supporting youth, our founders continuously update curriculum to reflect this ever changing landscape. Providing training in social skill building, coping mechanisms, and healthy decision making, P.R.E.P. Beyond directly addresses the increasing incidence of toxic stress, the decline in social fitness, and the rising rates of mental illness in our youth. Normalizing and de-stigmatizing the journey through puberty and adolescence, our comprehensive sexuality education empowers students to live authentically, with respect for themselves and those around them, honoring their own uniqueness and the diversity around them.
