Description

For grades 9-12

DESCRIPTION

In this program, comedian/teen counselor Michael Pritchard visits with teenagers in Los Angeles; Nashville; and Madison, Wisconsin, to talk about how to stay out of (or get out of) drinking/driving predicaments and still be cool. As one boy so honestly put it, "It's hard for guys like me who aren't very popular. Friendships I have with guys who brag about dope, drinking, and wild parties are important. A lot of times you just go along with it and tell yourself next time you won't do it. But then you go along with them anyway."

OBJECTIVES

Build young people's awareness of the issue of drunk driving. Show them that driving drunk, or going along with others who do, is always a matter of choice. Encourage them to anticipate when a drinking/driving situation may arise and plan alternatives. Help them to see themselves as having the power to prevent drunk driving.

ABOUT THE SERIES

The Power of Choice with Michael Pritchard is a 12-part youth guidance video series aimed at empowering teenagers to make good choices in their lives. It teaches young people that they have the power of choice, that they are responsible for the choices they make, and that they owe it to themselves to choose the best.

Used as a springboard for group discussion, The Power of Choice is highly effective at triggering teenagers to talk openly about their personal thoughts, feelings, and experiences, and to look critically at how they make choices. Each program comes with a companion guide filled with discussion questions, group activities, and writing assignments.

The Power of Choice series has earned the following awards:
