The reality


The Novus Project is a community dedicated to preventing the relationally damaging effects of media misuse and explicit material by engaging students, families and schools through awareness, tools, and support.


By reaching the public school and collegiate systems with The Novus Project Program and resources in development, we can expose the truth about the consequences of media misuse and explicit material upon an individual's brain and the damaging effects it produces in relationships, personal health and society at large. 


The bottom line is that many students are struggling with this issue and feel as if they have nowhere to go for help.  

“RESEARCH REVEALS MANY SYSTEMIC EFFECTS OF INTERNET PORNOGRAPHY THAT ARE UNDERMINING AN ALREADY VULNERABLE CULTURE OF MARRIAGE AND FAMILY. EVEN MORE DISTURBING IS THE FACT THAT THE FIRST INTERNET GENERATIONS HAVE NOT REACHED FULL-MATURITY, SO THE UPPER-LIMITS OF THIS IMPACT HAVE YET TO BE REALIZED”


– JILL MANNING, SOCIOLOGIST

What if we could help a generation of young people before we need to rescue them?
