The program emphasizes prosocial skills, respect for others, and personal and social responsibility, including goal setting, decision-making, developing healthy relationships, stress management, coping, communication, peer resistance, and interpersonal skills. The program includes optional family and community involvement components. Teachers are encouraged to attend training workshops, with options for regional or on-site training sessions.
