Consulting
The Legacy Institute develops
proprietary resources for a wide variety organizations to help them
educate a broad spectrum of individuals on the subject of sexual
integrity. We
also offer consulting services for organizations who want to develop
customized solutions to address their specific needs. This consulting
ranges from simple assessments and
recommendations (see Family Friendly Malls) to the development and production of targeted materials (see Targeted Lesson Plans) to the implementation of long-term plans for organizational change (see Pregnancy Center Protocol).
Below are some examples of how we have implemented the message of sexual integrity in other organizations:
Family Friendly Malls
In an effort to
combat the age-old “sex sells” advertising technique, Legacy executives set up a meeting with the general
manager of one of Washington state’s premiere shopping malls to discuss
how the mall might work to create a more family-friendly atmosphere;
one that promoted sexual integrity. We first walked through the mall
and made notes, brought up our concerns with some store managers, wrote
an assessment and, finally, presented our recommendations in a report
that was, at the very least, illuminating to the general manager who used this in meetings to raise awareness.
This process took approximately two weeks.
Targeted Lesson Plans
The North Dakota chapter of
Students Against Destructive Decisions (SADD), a student-to-student
mentoring program, wanted a lesson plan promoting sexual integrity that would work in
concert with their materials that helped students with decision-making
skills dealing with alcohol and drugs. The Legacy team developed a
lesson along with training and evaluation tools that could be
implemented easily by high school mentors with sixth grade students. As
a follow-up, Carrie Abbott flew to North Dakota for an in-person
teaching session where she addressed 700 student leaders and their
advisors at their statewide convention. This process took approximately four months.
Pregnancy Center Protocol
Heartbeat International, a network
of nearly 1000 pregnancy resource centers around the US and Canada,
approached The Legacy Institute to develop a program for their
“negative test” clients – those young women who visit centers believing
they may be pregnant but turn out not to be. The Legacy team, led by
Carrie Abbott, began the project by conducting months of research at
several test sites to develop a framework for the program. Then,
working with Heartbeat, The Legacy Institute began to create a broad
tool belt of resources resulting in a groundbreaking program called The
Sexual Integrity Program that includes manuals, book studies,
relationship assessments, three video learning series and new intake
protocols that help centers around the country make a positive impact
in the lives of young women daily. This project took a year and a half
to complete.
