Programs

STAR
STAR is a youth leadership program of Peacemaker Resources. Students Teaching Attitudes of Respect (STAR) is designed to increase the social and emotional skills of middle schoolers while teaching them how to present those skills to their families, peers and younger children. 

Tribal NEAR Science and Community Wisdom
The goal of the Tribal NEAR Science and Community Wisdom Project is to increase shared understanding and awareness of NEAR science (Neurobiology, Epigenetics, Adverse Childhood Experiences, and Resilience) and ultimately build self-healing communities. Its programs seek to develop caring and competent parents, high-capacity communities, a public that is supportive to parents, and a sustainable organization that contributes to a reduction in incidents of child abuse, neglect, and out-of-home placement (foster care). The Tribal Project creates opportunities for Tribal community members (or Indigenous community members) and the broader community to find healing and support by engaging them through education and connection to protective factors through a cultural approach.   The Tribal NEAR Science and Community Wisdom Project is a collaboration between FamilyWise Services and Peacemaker Resources.
