Why should schools invest in the Brave Series?
Middle and high school students are constantly bombarded with messages that erode their sense of worth.
Many carry unhealed trauma, leaving them unsure how to handle fear, shame, anger, or anxiety—and more vulnerable to exploitation.
While educators may be aware of online risks, few realize how often students from all backgrounds are groomed and coerced into sex trafficking, sometimes by peers.
Brave Together is a comprehensive leadership curriculum for teens designed to empower educators to address crucial issues such as sexual violence prevention, anxiety, grief, bullying, friendship-building, purpose, and self-worth.
This engaging curriculum empowers teens with purpose, leadership skills, and tools to protect themselves and others from harm.
“ I am deeply impressed by The Brave Series’ survivor-informed, innovative approach to empowering youth. This interactive, four-volume resource builds confidence, emotional health, and resilience while equipping children and teens with the tools to protect themselves from exploitation and trafficking.”
Rachel Fisher, International Anti-Trafficking Consultant, RN and Survivor

The four Volumes contain the core articles that form the foundation of the curriculum, along with supplementary content such as short reflections, activities, journaling sections, and artwork.
Schools may choose to use the volumes as consumables that students write in, or they can provide separate notebooks for student responses and reuse the volumes each year. Additionally, digital access to all four volumes is available as an alternative to printed copies.

We have developed a digital Lesson Book for teachers corresponding to each of the four Volumes, featuring detailed lesson plans built around the core articles, along with links to videos and supplemental material.
Each volume includes five chapters, with approximately four core articles per chapter—providing about 20 lessons per Lesson Book and more than 80 lessons across the full curriculum.

“I began using Brave & Beautiful with our students in the Winter of 2023 in order to equip them to become more aware of potentially harmful situations and/or toxic relationships in which they could find themselves. We held classes using the curriculum, which opened up lively discussions and enabled several girls to talk about and even free themselves from negative relationships.”
— Sandy Woods, Principal, Comenius School of Creative Leadership, SC
Testimonials from Educators
“I’d like to highlight one of the many examples of impact and transformation that Brave & Beautiful has had on our 6th-grade girls. There were twin sisters in this first class who, through experiencing the Brave & Beautiful curriculum, showed remarkable personal growth and increased self-confidence. As a result, they both applied to be Student Government leaders for the whole Elementary campus and were elected to do so. Their confidence has soared as they grew in understanding their immense value.”
— Deede Santiago, Elementary School Principal, Kamehameha Schools, HI
“Day by day, I watched eyes, ears, and hearts open to the truth. Because the material was so beautifully laid out in these pages, the ladies were hungry to learn and to consume the wisdom. Many girls shared how refreshing it was to talk about things they never get to talk about… No doubt, this material will not only equip girls in their value and identity, but it will also save many from the lures of trafficking, porn, and sexual abuse. I cannot recommend this course book and material enough.”
— Kelly Balarie, Educator
