Evidence-Based, Inclusive Education

LifeSMART is a social and emotional educational program dedicated to teaching and equipping students to have healthy relationships and avoid risk so they can experience optimal health for a lifetime.

Students learn relational skills through a series of interactive and age-appropriate lessons, complete with workbooks and visual aids. Object lessons are used throughout the presentations to create an engaging and memorable learning experience.

We partner with teachers and other youth-serving adults to educate middle and high school students using the REAL Essentials curriculum, which is age-appropriate, trauma informed, medically accurate, evidence-based, and inclusive.

Our Purpose

We believe every student has value and deserves the opportunity to learn about healthy relationships. Our goal is to give them tools that will help them avoid risky behaviors that could impact their future.

Community Impact

LifeSMART is proud to work with students in grades 5-10, and local community organizations that serve youth. On average, 6,800 students receive LifeSMART’s Social Maturity and Relationships Training each year in the Lehigh Valley.

Our Team

All LifeSMART presenters are certified in Real Essentials curriculum, trauma informed and undergo background clearances. Our team is professional, enthusiastic, and dedicated to making a positive and lasting impact on every student they engage with.
