Educating Youth
We believe the only way to end violence is through education.
Turning Points Network provides comprehensive, evidence-based, age specific, violence prevention education to students in Pre-K through 12th grade.
Our school education program works with students, teachers and parents to prevent and respond to domestic and sexual violence as well as bullying, harassment and dating violence.
TPN works in more than 85% of schools across Sullivan County, educating more than 2400 students each year.

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.
