A Letter From USF...

It was a pleasure to meet with you again in October along with the TSI's USA Leaders: Michael Bolden, National Secretary of YouthHealth USA and International, and Tanya Dennis, Head for the education Board of YouthHealth USA. Our discussion of the ways we can work together to bring Therapeutic Storytelling Intervention to the University of San Francisco's Mission Possible schools was most productive. The USF Center for Child and Family Development is involved yearly with about 30 San Francisco/Bay area schools. We place MFT trainees in the schools and they provide School-Based Family Counseling to at risk students and their families. The schools (both public and Catholic) have a serious lack of resources with an average of only 1 counselor for every 350 students. We have wanted, for many years, to add a group counseling component to our Mission Possible program. However we have lacked the resources to deliver it. I believe that your Therapeutic Storytelling Intervention (TSI) program is exactly what we need in these schools. The TSI program has a number of strengths that make it a useful approach for School-Based Family Counselors to learn...read more

Along with that they will be helped to develop a more cooperative, respectful, teachable attitude powered by hope and truth allowing for success in life despite their current circumstances. This makes available to them endless possibilities in being valued as part of our society and not a burden to it! this program also enhances and reinforces the positive tools some young people already have while helping whole families to circle around being in better harmony and unity to a peaceful happy fun filled life where respect, patience, long suffering support and enduring healthy love is the norm. Helping a house, an apartment, or even a tent become a home We all agree it should start in the family however we would all agree many families are torn apart and weighed down. So we need to back up and see the bigger family picture, which includes all of us. So please Contribute what you can as often as you can and join us in our effort to make available free of charge to financially challenged households especially single parent households and foster care and other challenged family settings and facilities the tools and support needed to give better dreams to our youth and help them turn those dreams into their realities!

Message From The Executive Secretary

Y outhHealth USA has identified several sample demographics especially among our youth that are in urgent need of Life Skills resources that will overcome such things as anger, rebellion, depression and indifference to moral and living values.

In many respects, our nation is at the crossroads of a major economic, cultural and social development.

Once these aspects improve in a youth their futures become limitless. We have created a proven and highly acclaimed duplicable program that works amazingly well. It is a very simple to be trained in program that is easy to administer and is proven to have a nearly zero resistance rate by youths exposed to it. The amazing changes in attitude and desires brought on by the administering of this gift of help to our youth allows us to experience for example a young person go from extreme acts of rage and verbal abuse such as cursing at their parents, teachers and etc. to consistently respecting and valuing authority even expressing politeness, to the point of asking how they can help make their parents load lighter and how they can assist with chores. YES, ITS TRUE BELIEVE IT OR NOT :). What is also very unique about this program is it works on adults and even on criminal populations in such a way that it makes a transition in them providing new tools and desire for an honorable life.

Exciting as these times are, we need more than ever to work together as a society for the prevention of avoidable problems, and the improved well-being of all.

The changes rollover and benefit all aspects of their lives including school, work and social activities to name a few. We are eager to continue to provide YouthHealth USA’s programs FREE of charge to benefit youth and young adults nationwide. We hope that Family members and willing adults will volunteer to “buy out more time” from their busy schedules to spend time to aid in this worlds hope for the future, which is our precious youth. All of us recognize it is vitally important that we never give up on helping our youth get on the right track and stick to it under test. This can be aided by utilizing skills gained from programs like that which YouthHealth USA provides.

To be open and honest all of our lives and especially our youth benefit from developing even higher life skill resources, moral values, and day to day relationship skill sets that will help create greater life opportunities, self respect and increased respect for others!

It is our hope to continue to provide our positive life value building kits and books for FREE to those who wish to help both successful and troubled youth!

Many adults, parents and guardians especially those of single parent households cannot squeeze in the cost of therapist or programs like ours yet they often need it the most. And this is why we want to always be able to supply it free of charge upon request. To continue this goal and expand it as a reality of the need that is more and more urgent and evident across our country, we are constantly looking for more volunteers and avenues to fully fund the necessary training, books and study materials these volunteers, parents and guardians will need. If you would like to help please let us know we look to expand the gift of Therapeutic Story Telling to a much broader base of communities by March 2010. but that depends on people like you being willing to volunteer time, money or information realizing that this nation is a family and we shouldn't’t expect anyone to do this thing called life alone.

I am pleased to be associated with YouthHealth USA, and the various projects it promotes in association with its community partners.

Judging by the past accomplishments of its members, associates and consultants, I am confident that the young people of our nation will be well served in the years to come. I am particularly enthusiastic about YouthHealth USA ongoing vision to have young people involved in genuine decision-making aspects of its operations. This is not only in line with Federal and State policy, but also demonstrates that the organization values the contributions that young people can make to our society as a whole. YouthHealth USA was founded with an open arm policy so it could form robust partnerships with other successful organizations to achieve many common vital goals for our youth and our nations moral well being. This kind of collaboration will minimize fragmentation of well-intentioned efforts, and mobilize the kind of momentum needed to achieve excellence on all fronts in a more timely fashion. With our programs assistance we provide, opportunity to open the minds of all those participating, youth, parents, and volunteers a like so they are more apt to take advantage of the many valuable life advancing programs that exist with in our organization or are provided by our government and many other wonderful organizations that help individuals with many aspects life. It all adds to the current and future hope and development of positive life values.

We encourage open communication and mutual respect honesty and the personal dignifying of oneself and others including authority figures. We focus on healthier relationship building, respect and desire for higher education or skill oriented educations that are never to early to start. We support Health management including obesity, exercise and eating with health in mind. Always we promote Going Green with a persons whole life style and this pattern can never be started to young. We point toward being financial responsible early on leading in time to credit and debt management, home ownership, small business ownership, retirement planning. Our goal is to motivate a path of continuous contribution to our society that will allow life to be better for all. All this comes by creating a spirit of hope and optimism that happens only when positive life skills are developed which is what YouthHealth USA is all about.

A couple examples of YouthHealth USA's Therapeutic storytelling program and its tools perfected by Mr. Phillips can be found in New Zealand where it has become a credible key part of that nation's reversal of very high trends toward Kids at risk and even with the most desperate statistics found in suicide trends among youth the results speak for themselves. The wonderful material developed by Ron Phillips in the United States before his moving to New Zealand over twenty years ago where there was an incredible need for his gifts of help.

It has continued to yield greater benefits in helping youth while continuing to evolve and improve thus staying current with our youths advancements and is noted to result in helping develop higher living values in those participating in it.

In turn its easy to see how having more youth able to benefit from this program can be used to help bring the end to the increasing trends towards the declining functionality of youth all over the world and would begin a steady trend of improvement. We are seeing the same results here and have observed success rate in over coming the trends of anger rebellion and indifference to moral and living values when clinically used at a rate far superior to currently used out dated programs. Every incremental change in attitude in our young adults and youth with a little help from those who would participate in the YouthHealth USA Gem program as guides such as parents, guardians, grandparents or volunteers would be a key part of building a change for the better in our nation. Yes its true if a professionally trained facilitator issued the program we could expect improved results however they could only reach a limited number of youth in a fixed time period but if we can give away just say three Million kits and have even a measured change for the better in attitudes in those kids who participate our nation would be changing drastically for the good. Oh and let it catch on and become popular to have higher living values with chat rooms, buttons, hats, shirts posters, movies and games dedicated to such hope the possibility and the impact on our society will be amazing. .

YouthHealth USA has also donated the use of homes for Foster Care Transition programs. These programs assist young people to move into successful independent living as they age out of government programs by giving them living values as mentioned above and living tools such as banking, check writing and balancing budgets, resume, work ethics and continued free family like support and counseling any time they want for as long as they want. We find many single one adult families with younger adult parents can use much the same resources.

We recognize that we have the tools to help young and old alike to develop increasingly honorable life values.

We have another program similar but designed with the help of the organizations “Young New Zealanders foundation” for younger children under nine years of age called Gem Stones which has produced amazing results too in that younger age group showing Ron's work has few limitations. These life values lead to lowering anger, rebellion, impatience, disrespect, laziness, and selfishness while promoting a more cooperative personality, and allowing for healthier, stronger family and community units to develop. This in turn builds productive cities and states, which stabilizes our nation at its core and makes life better for all!

We have no more room or time to selfishly idle away in this moment of crisis for our countries youth. Please consider YouthHealth USA as a viable resource for our communities and support us toward our ongoing community outreach projects in whatever form you can.


We thank you very much

Michael Bolden
