The R.U.H.B.Y Program

Re-developing, Unifying, and Healing Broken Youth (R.U.H.B.Y.): is a 21-point program that was structured by the U.N.T. Health and Science graduates, who creatively applied visual and comprehensive curriculum to teacher-led activities/ group exercises based on the initial design model created by Abdul Chappell. By focusing on the social and psychological behaviors of school aged youth and by testing their personal decision-making skills based on their response to real-life scenarios, we are able to create a self-driven approach to their own self-awareness. This in turn will instill a confidence within them that could possibly be the difference if and/or when they are ever confronted with having to make an impulsive decision, in a toxic environment in “real life”. Our Objective is to be proactive, while simultaneously providing preventative measures for those who are potentially, and/ or currently, exposed to environmental toxic cultures that are plaguing many of our communities today.

R.U.H.B.Y. also includes our e-learning course that includes 10 lessons from our R.U.H.B.Y. workbook. This course dives into cognitive behavior, understanding the poisonous effects of our culture, dissecting music, movies, and the entertainment industry.
