Love Notes

For a growing number of young adults, unplanned pregnancy, single parenting, and troubled relationships derail personal goals. Love Notes 3.0 was created for this vulnerable audience, some already pregnant or parenting. In 13 lessons, they discover—often for the first time—how to make wise choices about relationships, sexuality, pregnancy, partnering, and more. Version 3.0 includes brand new content important to today’s youth, including sexual consent, sexual assault, cyber bullying, online porn, sexting, drugs & alcohol – and their impact on relationships. Rather than focusing on what to avoid, Love Notes builds assets and appeals to aspirations. It offers young people new conceptual frameworks to help them make informed decisions instead of sliding into unplanned choices that can derail their lives.

Healing TREE Silk Screenings + Workshops

Face It has provided funding for a limited number of Healing TREE Silk Screenings + Workshops through the end of September 2023. Healing TREE’s short film Silk, and accompanying workshop with guided discussion, illustrate, educate on and explore the most insidious forms of abuse and trauma. Silk stars mainstream talent and engages high schoolers, college students and community members to have an open conversation about these important but often undiscussed topics. The workshop’s pre and post engagement assessments ensure that folks walk away far better equipped to heal from the aftermath of what too many may have faced and to prevent themselves and others from being victimized by, or perpetrating, abusive situations in the future. These screenings and workshops have had incredibly positive results as evidenced by the pre and post surveys, showing a highly significant increase in understanding of the topic and a virtually equal number of survivor and perpetrator self-identification.

Here is a link to Healing TREE’s website’s Silk page which has details on the program, the trailer for the film and life-changing testimonials: www.healingtreenonprofit.org/silk
