Education for a Lifetime promotes conversations around adolescent relationships and mental health, with an emphasis on sexual activity and suicide prevention. While advocating for optimal whole-person health, EFL focuses on removing stigma around these topics. We believe that every student should have healthy, non-violent relationships, and have access to help and hope to live purposefully.
