MIKE LONG’S 3 DAY PACKAGE:
THE MOST PRODUCTIVE USE OF TITLE V ABSTINENCE EDUCATION GRANTS

There is no better way to utilize Abstinence Education funds than to secure Mike Long for a 3 day visit to your area.

DAY 1 Mr. Long provides an in-service training for teachers, health professionals, youth leaders, etc. The in-service consists of 3 sessions (appr.1 1/2 hrs. each). Typically, 2 sessions take place in the morning, break for lunch, then complete the training with session 3 in the early afternoon. “Teachers and youth leaders come away from my trainings highly motivated to put these new abstinence teaching strategies to work in the classroom,” Long said. “They learn for the first time that teaching abstinence is not telling kids to ‘Just say NO.’ It is teaching teens responsibility, discipline, and maturity in a fun way in which they’ll listen ultimately building their character like never before.”

DAY 2 of Mr. Long’s visit consists of 2 assembly programs in area schools and a Community Awareness Program in the evening. “School board members, administrators, clergy, community leaders, and concerned parents are always convinced that this directive educational strategy is exactly what needs to be taught to teens,” Long said. “The Community Awareness Program eliminates all the fallacies and confusion they have about abstinence and is very convincing to them that this is the way to go.”

DAY 3 consists of more school assemblies for teens. “The beautiful thing about conducting this 3 day event in an area is teachers are trained how to effectively teach abstinence in the classroom and they can’t wait to begin. Administrators are convinced that this is the way to go. Parents learn these directive educational techniques. Teens are highly motivated from assemblies. Then teachers and parents can follow-up using the “Everyone Is NOT Doing It” series,” Long said. “It is a beautiful way to coordinate a unified effort between the local organization, school system, parents, and community. It’s win, win across the board!”
