Shalom provides prevention services to children in approximately eighty grade schools in the Philadelphia area. Most often, these services include classroom presentations focusing on drug/alcohol education, peer pressure and violence prevention. Students and teachers sometimes identify areas of concern to the prevention specialist. When possible, prevention specialists provide small group support sessions, one-to-one sessions with students and early intervention with referral in order to respond to these concerns. Consultations also occur with families on an as needed basis.

Shalom Prevention Specialists, utilizing researched, highly effective prevention curricula, provide classroom presentations on an ongoing, sequential basis. Presentations include puppets, songs, stories, movies, discussions, small group activities and didactic lessons in an age appropriate manner in order to educate children regarding important topics such as self-esteem, life skills and anger management.
