Adolescent life skill empowerment project (ALPEP)

Crowded houses, striking poverty, absence of civic  facilities, high dropout rate, volatile behavior of young adolescent children, crime, and delinquent behavior, and lack of proper health facilities are some of the major concerns in this area.

Adolescents from Vyasarpadi are constantly exposed to antisocial behavior and influences, rendering them particularly vulnerable to delinquency. ALPEP aims at protect adolescents in the age group of 12– 19 from antisocial activities, make them aware of moral issues, and improve their life standard through life skill education and psychological development. 

BSAC provides them proper awareness and counseling to help them cope with this special time of life.

Adolescents both boys and girls separately meet in four groups once a month to focus on specific issues such as self confidence, suicide, early marriage, bodily change, positive thinking, relationship with family, friends, and goal setting. Workshops are conducted once every three months on related topics.

The methodology used is role-play, group discussion, interactive games, lectures, and case history. Adolescents are invited for everyday activities in Resource Center and Central Library and skill development activities designed.
