What Schools Say...
“Kyle's ability to mix her teaching background as well as absolute desire to educate our student-athletes about safe dating is evident by her unique ability to understand her audience and demand participation. She allowed the players to speak freely about what cultivates healthy relationships in high school. Her enthusiasm and passion about the topic was evident and far superior to anyone I've seen discuss this topic.”
“I have asked Kyle to come to my school multiple times to work with my 10th grade and senior class. Through active and engaging activities she has shown students that practicing consent communication is important, a life skill, and can also be fun. I'm always impressed with her ability to handle a large group and guide them towards a better understanding of the importance of consent.”

Questions From Schools
How long is a typical school engagement?
Most schools book a single day: a faculty professional development block in the morning and grade-level student sessions through the rest of the day. Half-day and multi-visit options are available.
Do the sessions fit our existing family life curriculum?
Yes. Content is mapped to whatever your school already teaches, so sessions reinforce your curriculum rather than replace it.
What grade levels do you work with?
Health has been taught at every grade level, and workshops are written for the age group in the room, most school bookings are grades 6 through 12.
How do parents get looped in?
Schools often pair a student day with a parent evening so families hear the same language their students do. Parent consultations can also be booked directly.
