Changes
The ground-breaking Choices was adapted for adult women; Changes is the result. Changes is for every woman who, in this ever-changing world, wants to be in control of her own destiny.

Changes outlines an easy, step-by-step process that allows the participant to personalize her own growth plans -- for now and in the future
Choices: A Teen Woman's Journal for Self-Awareness and Personal Planning
"In response to hundreds of requests, Choices was adapted young men. Maintaining the successful format and approach of the original, we updated stories, examples, issues, and exercises to make them gender appropriate. With a few necessary variations in presentation, the subject matter is parallel in each book and the page numbers are identical.
  Instructor's Guide for Choices, Challenges, Changes and More Choices
Choices, Challenges, Changes, and More Choices: People of both sexes and all ages face them every day -- like it or not. Outlining how to facilitate an effective program -- not by lecturing, but by leading...by listening...by encouraging...and by lending caring support -- this combined Instructor's Guide explores the exercises in all four books. Demonstrating how to use the books in different combinations, there are also cross-references to related topics, goals and objectives for each chapter, and explanations of how to deal with the differences in the texts.

Mother Daughter Choices: A Handbook for the Coordinator
The Mother-Daughter Choices project is an exciting and timely program for sixth- or seventh-grade girls and their mothers. It is designed to prepare girls for the decisions they will make as they move into young adulthood. The goals of this six-week program are to encourage communication between mothers and daughters at this very important time and to help build girls' desire and capacity to become economically independent.
More Choices
Traditionally, career planning and planning for a family have been considered separately, as though there is no relationship between these two major spheres of life. More Choices takes a new approach and shows how, with proper planning, it is possible to support a family -- and still find time to enjoy it. This is an ideal book for young women about to choose a career, whether they are in high school, college, or at re-entry level.
