The program also outlines the balance between decisions and consequences, and the impact of choices.  The True Life InteractiveT program, found at http://TrueLifeInteractive.com, invites parents, teachers and other adults to help young people create an action plan for success.

"The program is personalized and engaging, teaching young people a method for comparing their hopes and expectations against reality in a practical way," says co-director Bob Berry.  "It's a personal business plan they can come back to again and again to update as their job plans and lifestyle ideas change."

"True Life Interactive is different than other goal-oriented programs because it not only helps a young person identify the kind of lifestyle they want-it also helps them research what it takes to achieve that lifestyle," says co-director Ed Kolerich.  "True Life Interactive offers young people the tools they need to create an organized plan to set and accomplish life goals.  It is an excellent program to mentor young adults."
