What is Guiding Good Choices® (GGC)?
Guiding Good Choices is an evidence-based program for parents/caregivers of youth ages 9-4 years old who discover specific actions that promote healthy development and reduce risky behavior in the teen years.
Risks are an inevitable part of becoming independent and Guiding Good Choices can help families by providing families with the information and tools needed to prepare their preteens and teens to make decisions inline with the family guidelines.
Just as important, families will learn ways to build or maintain lasting relationships. Evidence tells us that teenagers who are more closely connected to their families have better health and educational outcomes. Guiding Good Choice offers a strategy to increase family bonding.
