TAPS programs are crafted with an understanding that abuse prevention programs need to reflect various situations as individuals grow into different stages in life. Each partnership starts by developing a deep understanding of the needs of each student to create and deliver customized and highly effective earning sessions.

The following is a list of the topics that we teach to people of all abilities. Each topic ranges between 30-60 minutes per class, depending on class size and needs. Clients are encouraged to meet with the instructors to arrange a customized program to meet their specific goals and needs for learners. Instructors can also develop and teach topics customizable to the client or agency.
