All About Understanding’s purpose is to mentor the youth of Lawton-Ft. Sill with programs focused on understanding oneself and the development of life skills. The Know Yourself, Be Yourself program is designed to bridge the gap between the traditional classroom and “real life” situations. The program educates youth with foster care and/or juvenile legal system involvement on various life skills necessary to become productive citizens and take pride in striving for a better future. Each component teaches youth about self-awareness, controlling their emotions, communication effectively, and decision-making.
