The Student Anti-Violence Education program teaches children the skills they need to choose nonviolent means of resolving conflicts and provides them with resources to deal with the violence they encounter in their homes, neighborhoods and schools. Since its inception in 1991, SAVE has reached over 20,000 students in Philadelphia area public and Catholic schools.
SAVE is a curriculum-based training program that works with children in their school to provide experiential training in handling disputes effectively while helping them to understand the roots and effects of violence. Classroom sessions explore a range of issues, including anger management, conflict resolution, mediation, impulse control and consequences.
