School-Based Programming

TPN provides The Healthy Relationships Project to students in grades Pre-K through 12th Grade throughout Sullivan County.

Our innovative and research-informed programs teach healthy relationship skills to students of all ages.

What is unique about our program?

  • Our educators share more than 3 decades of experience in teaching students about healthy relationships.
  • Our program is trauma informed; we know our topics are sensitive and we have the skills to facilitate these conversations.
  • We are your local resource. Living and working in this area, we are invested in our community’s well-being.
  • We will tailor programs to meet the individual needs of each school or organization.

​Social-emotional learning is foundational to all of TPN’s programs. Healthy relationships are built on these keys concepts:

Research shows that SEL not only improves achievement by an average of 11 percentile points, but it also increases prosocial behaviors (such as kindness, sharing, and empathy), improves student attitudes toward school, and reduces depression and stress among students (Durlak et al., 2011).

Effective social and emotional learning programming involves coordinated classroom, schoolwide, family, and community practices that help students develop the following five key skills: self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship skills and responsible decision-making.
