The teen mini units are a good first step in "feeling and experiencing" the entire Hugs program for youth.

An ideal presentation resource

These resources are an adaptation of Teens & Diets: No Weigh (see Teen Facilitator Package) to promote healthy body images in students ages 12-17. The classroom materials are highly facilitative to encourage personal discoveries by the students. Food and eating issues are put into perspective by looking at the everyday issues faced by teens. Role playing, group brainstorming, myth shattering and dialogue scripts put the student into constructive decision making situations. Classroom worksheets and homework worksheets provide valuable keeper materials for the students and offer support to alternative learning styles like drawing and journal writing. Parent guide material is also supplied. It is suggested that these resources be used with the book You Count, Calories Don't.
