In the first lesson of Safer, Smarter Teens: Personal Power, students will be introduced to the concept of personal power and the red flags that alert us to unsafe situations. Students will meet Lauren in the introductory video and she will share her powerful story of abuse, recovery, and journey to advocacy. Students will learn that they have personal power. By using their personal power, students will learn to set their personal boundaries, recognize unsafe situations, and use their power to say "no" and get help. Students will learn key vocabulary terms, including personal power, power plays, red flags, body boundaries, sexual abuse and self-esteem. Understanding these terms will create the foundation for students to develop their own personal power.
