I'm Determined

I'm Determined project features tools to help goal-attaining whether at home, school, or in everyday life. Or how we can approach resolution or problem-solving. 

Throughout life, we will encounter many problems that seem tough to solve, at least without some help. That help can be found on imdetermined.org, with their "Problem-Solving" guide. Watch the scenario videos about a high school girl who struggles to solve an issue with her friend until she receives support from her parents and teachers.
