Bechirot's Motto..."Prevention through Education" Bechirot is a non-for profit organization that teaches life skills in interactive, experiential workshops

2. Before children become
“Kids-at-Risk”
They are just kids
We want them to stay that way!!!

5. Communication is what works. Bechirot
teaches children to communicate
appropriately in spoken and unspoken
ways, and to hear and read the signals
given by others. When children know
what is really going on they can respond
accordingly. This skill will take them
anywhere they want to go as grownups.

6. Self Knowledge =
Happiness
We all want our kids to be happy.
We can achieve that!
The first step toward true contentment is
“self awareness”; it must come from within.
Bechirot empowers children with a positive
“self-image” and helps them develop the
skills they need to make choices that make
them happy & secure.

7. ll feelings
Despondency. Depression.
Sadness. Misery….terms
often used to describe a
teen’s feelings. Bechirot
stops these negative
emotions well before the
teenage years, and works
to eradicate them from
adolescents before the
paths they choose cause
them even more pain.

8. pportunities
Are always there…
Bechirot works with young
people to help them
recognize both positive and
negative opportunities.
Self Growth
or
Self Destruction
Which would you choose?

9. The most important people
Outside our immediate family
are a child’s friends.

10. To be part of the action ; to fit in; to be welcomed; to
share…this is what matters to children. But how do
we choose which group is the right one for our kids?

11. As adults, our relationships take on a
new dimension. However, we are a
product of our childhood, and the
company we keep as grownups very
often depends on the closeness we
developed with friends and family
when we were young. Bechirot
strengthens family ties and
encouragsiblings.es close interaction
with parents and children.

12. Teacher Training
The Teacher is always right…
But are they? Bechirot trains teachers to
recognize issues in the classroom and
playground. Teachers use their training to
diffuse potentially volatile situations and
reinforce principles of wise choices.

13. I t’s all about thekids!!!!
Children don’t like to be told what to do; they
should be in control of their own destiny. It is up
to us to give them the knowledge to effectively
change and regulate their responses so they can
fulfill THEIR mission: to be the best they can be.
That includes living a healthy productive life.
That’s Bechirot’s goal….
The choices they make based on the choices they
are given.

14. Mission statement
We give children the support and skills necessary to make
healthy choices for themselves. We will work with schools
and other community organizations to create student and
parent workshops that empower students, parents, and
their teachers to examine the choices children are
confronted with on a daily basis and provide tools
necessary to change the lives of our youth by teaching
them to make healthy lifestyle decisions.
