Bullying...hate crimes...It's all over the news. It's part of everyday life for just about every student in America — from suburbia to the inner city.
So what's one of the root causes of all this hatred? A warped perspective of others that's based on prejudice, intolerance, and misunderstanding.
With the use of tested and proven communication techniques, the R5 team helps the student realize how they have developed the perspective they currently embrace. R5 encourages students to think outside themselves and realize that everyone has a story — an entire history, written by their circumstances and experiences, that has made them who they are.
"You brought Millard South to where it should be — on one level. You guys got into the minds of each student and showed them how it felt to be in someone else's shoes. Only good things can come from that."

As they listen to powerful real-life stories from students just like themselves, their perspectives are broadened by facing and exposing current issues of society and culture.
Students are faced with no other choice but to rethink their current perspective, and, if necessary, to form a new perspective based on compassion, understanding, and acceptance.
