LifeSteps
is an invaluable addition to school-based curriculum
supplementation and is ideal for use by community center
social workers and youth counselors helping "at-risk"
teenagers.
-Midwest Book Review
These videos would make an excellent addition to any
library YA collection. Teachers can use these powerful,
insightful videos as discussion starters.
-School Library
Journal
No-nonsense program about choices, courage and
intelligent decision-making... honest, true-to-life
stories with tough situations, rather than a bunch of
platitudes about self-awareness... Recommended.

LifeSteps
is a unique evidence-based tool for those who wish to
advance their students' character, resiliency and
emotional intelligence. The engaging video-discussion
format provides a safe context for discussing matters
that teens find important and take seriously - their
identity, relationships, how to bounce back from
setbacks, substance abuse, their goals for the future,
conflict resolution and how to become a responsible,
respectful and respected person.

I was first introduced to
you in school on a videotape in health class. When
teachers put a tape on, it's a free period for many, but
I sat there and listened and understood. You really
touched my heart. I wanted to hug you after the video
was over but it was physically impossible.
Teachers, administrators and
parents will be amazed at Michael Pritchard's natural
ability to talk with young people about making smart
choices. This thought-provoking video series will serve
as a springboard for further classroom discussion aimed
at building and supporting resilient behavior in teens.
Michael Pritchard is a national treasure.

I recently had the great
pleasure of viewing your Public Television specials. I
was astonished. Thank you so much for your insights and
for listening to young people with compassion and
understanding. Sir, I am impressed more than I can tell
you, and I can only imagine what great effects the piece
must be having on the students who see it. I thank you
with all my heart for making a difference.

I cannot tell you how much
your programs have meant to me... You have given me
newfound faith in working with the Youth of America...
What you are doing really matters.

I wish I had someone like
you when I was growing up.
I want you to know that my
children were glued to the television the entire time
this series was aired on our Public Television station.
Thank you for this video.
Pritchard's amazing in his ability to get kids to talk.
It's really unbelieveable. I've never seen anybody quite
so good at listening to children and asking good
questions. It's really delightful.
