Finding a Path to Helping Others // Ashley Bendiksen Interview
Through powerful, real-life storytelling Ashley teaches students the skills they need to stay positive and focused when faced with life challenges, disappointments, or sudden plot twists. As someone who has overcome adversity, Ashley knows the power of mindset and perspective, as well as seeking help when help is needed. She also knows that great opportunity always exists in moments of perceived limitations. This presentation, therefore, combines Ashley’s story, with simple but effective strategies every student can implement when facing obstacles.
LEARNING OUTCOMES:
From homeless and a college dropout to Valedictorian, award-winning activist, nonprofit founder, and social entrepreneur, Ashley is living proof that “anything is achievable.” Her story motivates students of all backgrounds to aim high and believe in themselves – from struggling at-risk students to motivated student leaders. This presentation helps students stay focused, motivated, and positive – no matter what challenges they face. It also inspires students to discover who they are, define what they want, set big goals, and become leaders – personally, in their communities, and even globally.
LEARNING OUTCOMES:
It’s critical for youth-serving adults to stay informed on the issues today’s youth face, plus know how to effectively respond or refer help for a student who’s been harmed. This presentation helps adults understand the prevalence and secondary impact of teen dating violence on students, and their role to help a student in need. Attendees will hear Ashley’s story, coupled with valuable education and skills training. Depending on the audience, Ashley can also address how to role model healthy relationship skills across all ages. For direct service providers (those working with abused or at-risk youth), Ashley offers professional development for improved and effective response and support.
LEARNING OUTCOMES:
At 14, Ashley was excited about her first dating relationship. Unfortunately, it became abusive, starting a cycle of unhealthy relationships that would negatively impact Ashley during her entire adolescence – personally, socially, emotionally, and academically. Sadly, Ashley’s story is not unique. In the U.S., 1 in 3 teens will experience dating violence, while 1 in 5 high school students know someone being abused. This can be physical, sexual, or more commonly, emotional. These behaviors impact student mental health, safety, social-emotional well-being, and academic achievement.
As a survivor turned subject matter expert, Ashley teaches teens what a healthy relationship looks like, what to watch out for, and what to do when abuse occurs.
LEARNING OUTCOMES:
As bystanders, every student has the power to be a leader, helper, and change-maker in social settings. Bystanders play a key role in preventing harm. Unfortunately, research shows that most bystanders don’t act because they’re just not sure what to do or how to help. This dynamic and interactive presentation helps turn ‘passive bystanders’ into ‘active bystanders’ through education, simple intervention strategies, role-playing, and scenario-based activities.
A proven violence prevention tool, students will learn to spot risks and harm (from assault to bullying and hate speech) and learn easy but effective techniques to intervene.
