About us
LifeSMART, an educational program dedicated to teaching and empowering students to have healthy relationships and avoid risk so they can experience optimal health for a lifetime. We partner with teachers and other youth-serving adults to educate middle and high school students using the REAL Essentials curriculum. It is age-appropriate, medically accurate, evidence-based, and inclusive. This life-changing education is offered by LifeSMART staff who are certified SRAE Specialists to youth in schools, and community organizations throughout the Lehigh Valley.
Why
