· HealingtheCulture.org presents the organization’s full educational pathway, including classroom curricula, college leadership training, teacher formation and digital resources designed to help audiences understand and articulate the pro-life position. The refreshed website gives students, parents, educators and pro-life advocates easier access to videos, classroom resources, leadership programs and teacher formation tools.

· This digital expansion comes alongside a broader effort to increase Healing the Culture’s national reach. The organization’s YouTube channel has surpassed 3.5 million lifetime views, reflecting its growing investment in digital distribution. In 2025, Healing the Culture produced and released 14 new episodes of its “Truth in 90 Seconds” series, which generated 1.4 million views through expanded promotion and audience targeting. These short videos offer concise answers to complex questions about human dignity, ethics, and the pro-life position.

· “Philo and Sophie,” Healing the Culture’s premier series for young children in grades K–3, is now available across multiple Christian streaming platforms. This expanded distribution provides a powerful opportunity to bring faith-filled, values-based children’s programming to a global audience through platforms that reach millions of households worldwide.

· Beyond digital media, Healing the Culture continues to see strong impact through its education and formation programs. To date, the organization has conducted 67 Life Principles Academy (LPA) on-campus trainings, with 951 LPA graduates from 189 schools since 2016. An additional 735 teachers have been trained through LPA Express. Through its flagship high school curriculum, “Principles & Choices,” Healing the Culture has educated 322,800 students since 2012.

Camille Pauley is co-founder and president of Healing the Culture, a nonprofit organization that evangelizes and converts people to be deeply, authentically, and permanently pro-life. She is the creator of multiple internationally acclaimed pro-life programs, including Philo and Sophie for young children, Jessica’s Jam for preteens, Principles & Choices for high school students, Life Principles Academy for college students, and the YouTube series Truth in 90 Seconds and Forbidden Discussions.

You’ve likely seen the international conversation sparked by the abortion of a Down Syndrome baby by social media influencer Jesse Ridgway, when he and his wife made getting pregnant and then aborting a baby with a diagnosis of Down Syndrome both a click-bait event and then the beginning of a huge and on-going controversy. Students for Life Action President Kristan Hawkins first called for a re-introduction of an enhanced PRENDA to address the issue.

“’The Prenatal Nondiscrimination Act‘ affirms a simple but profound truth: every human life has inherent dignity and worth. In a world where advancing technology can be used to discriminate against the most vulnerable before birth, this legislation calls us back to our deepest moral commitment that no child should be judged or rejected because of who they are or their abilities. Protecting preborn children from discrimination is not just a policy choice, but a reflection of our national conscience and our belief in equal human dignity for all.”

Kristan Hawkins is the CEO of the Pro-Life Generation, and President of Students for Life of America and Students for Life Action. Since launching the organization in 2006, Kristan has spent nearly two decades building a national network of more than 1,635+ campus Students for Life groups in all 50 states, training more than 250,000 students to stand up for Life.

Under her leadership, Students for Life of America has become the largest pro-life youth organization in the world, and Students for Life Action has grown into a force to be reckoned with on Capitol Hill and in statehouses across the nation.

The “summer slide” refers to the decline in academic skills and knowledge that students experience during the long summer break when they are out of the classroom. It often results in the loss of a month or more of learning, particularly in reading and math. Kim Kerwin discusses this with Vanessa and what can be done about it.

Kim Kerwin is a theology teacher and Director of Religious Formation at St. Fabian Catholic School in Farmington Hills. She has taught kindergarten, grades 5-8, and worked with high school youth ministry.
