Why 423 Next Works for Students
Our Approach
423 Next offers a unique approach tailored to the specific needs of teenagers and college students grappling with sexual struggles and addiction. Our program prioritizes creating a safe space where vulnerability is encouraged, and community is fostered. We understand that simply managing behaviors is not enough; true freedom and change require a deeper dive into the underlying issues. Through our trauma-informed, neuroscience-focused, and discipleship-integrated process, individuals are guided to rewire internally. This process allows for the practice of relational, experiential truths within our groups, leading to deeper connection and restoration with oneself, one's community, and God.
What are the underlying layers connected to this struggle for teens and students?
Emotions

Core Desires

Core Beliefs
Identify and challenge the beliefs shaping your perceptions.

Why are these layers important?
Understanding these layers is crucial because they reveal that struggles are not simply about being "bad" but are complex and multifaceted. Without this understanding, teens may be trapped in shame, hindering their progress. Awareness of these layers fosters growth, learning, and a clearer path to healing and progress.
How do we approach these layers?
We approach these layers by fostering safety and vulnerability, with leaders sharing their stories through the lens of these layers. This approach regulates the teen brain, creating a safe space for them to explore these concepts in their own journey. This process allows for brain rewiring, leading to transformative experiences and integrated wisdom that goes beyond mere knowledge.
