Hello

 

My name is Tom Hartke.  Life is like being in a one person sailboat.  You alone are the captain and must set your mind on a destination and work the wind and sails that will hopefully get you to your life's end goal.  Like life, you will face good wind and bad wind and must determine how much of each will lead you to your destination.

 

Today’s youth are lost more than any other generation.  Mental health issues are on the rise giving way to severe depression, suicide, isolation, addiction and bullying. Most school curriculum focus on the basic educational subjects, yet fail to address key life and personal skills critical to living a happy, productive life.

 

As a parent, I lost my daughter to an accidental overdose.  It  lead me to develop the Winds of Life educational program to help our youth better understand life’s purpose and basic life skills. The program is geared to young adults who are  searching for their values, sense of belonging and direction.

 

 

Winds of Life program is best suited for youth aged 14 – 21:

 

 

  - Education on Basic Life Skills

  - Teaches how to love yourself and others

  - Discover your purpose and direction in life

  - Discusses bullying and addiction

  - How to handle life’s Ups and Downs

Here is a List of Topics discussed in the Program:
