In this life skills lesson, a staff member taught the young women how to develop healthy habits. They learned the importance of a healthy diet through a game where they got to step forward for healthy choices, and step back for choices that would not be healthy for their bodies. The girls enjoyed seeing who could reach the teacher first. The lesson ended with a fun exercise session.

Blast off! Pathways has developed a new format to working on setting goals with our young adults.

This week we met up with two of our young ladies, along with important caregivers they have in their lives. First, the young women were asked to share with us their plan for the next 6 months. Then, they imagined themselves as the space ship in the picture moving toward the star. They had to set goals around the star. Next, they explained what meteors (risk factors in their lives) might harm them on their journey, what strengths they could use to blast through or go around the meteors; and finally, they illustrated who was at their support base who could help them to navigate and reach the star.
