Students Create Change

Students follow a simple, 5-step process (based on a research-based framework) to create change for countless problems and aspirations. Promotion & Prevention Leadership is the best training if you desire to learn the “how to create change” rather than learn about “what change is”. We provide youth with a roadmap for setting promotion and prevention goals with accompanying strategies for holistic change. Ultimately, we develop student leaders who determine their own path for youth-led change.

For decades, bystander intervention has been focused on people who have the opportunity to prevent harm, such as harassment, bullying or even violence. At PCPH, we believe bystanders also observe care, kindness, and goodness in their communities too. We have developed a dual upstander model to train participants to prevent harm or promote care. The result is a holistic upstander intervention approach to decrease harm and increase care in schools and communities.

The Youth-Led Resilience Promotion program guides students through a simple 5-step process for developing new strategies and implementing initiatives to promote resilience and support peer trauma recovery. Using the Promotion & Prevention Social Change Model, participants develop youth-led strategies.

Are you motivated to reduce bullying, address mental health concerns, or reduce substance use? Or, are you motivated by increasing helping behaviors, strengthening connections, or enhancing the school climate? Regardless of your goals, Youth-led Promotion & Prevention program guides student leaders through specific discussions and leadership activities, resulting in youth-led strategies to immediately benefit the climate and culture of their school.
