Keep It Real

Keep It Real helps educate teens about the consequences of inappropriate risk-taking behavior.

Grades 9-12

Keep It Real provides teens with Realistic Education About Dying Young, based on Palmetto Health Richland’s Project READY program in Columbia, South Carolina. In an effort to stay true to the hospital’s reality-based education, we have included graphic images and footage of real trauma in the productions.

Keep It Real is rated TV-14 and viewer discretion is advised.
