WHAT ARE TEACHERS SAYING ABOUT MFI..
"MFI is an excellent program that I can count on to provide evidence-based facts and exciting activities for my students! This should be a cornerstone to all health courses in any area high school!”
"This program continues to be an integral portion of our sexual health component of health ed. It reiterates and illustrates reasons for kids to critically think about abstinence. The program addresses not only my SLOs, but also the National Health Standards---SLOs need to reflect adherence to those standards. The students love the interactive role plays. The MFI educator is not only knowledgeable of content, but is passionate and clearly conveys statistically/medically accurate /current info for students to help them make the best informed personal decisions."
"The MFI Program is very current and relative and does a great job connecting real life scenarios to educate and impact the students. It has the potential to literally save their lives. Many students talk about it long after it is over. Our school has a generally high risk population and still their reactions to the program are very positive and some even said they would be changing their behaviors! "
