Why include youth in
prevention? (Chat)
Starting young is common sense. We
teach young people to be lifetime
prevention advocates while providing
them with leadership opportunities to
help others do the same.
Cultivate social change agents.
For Example…
Why include youth in
prevention…
Today’s young people are tomorrow’s parents and
adult caregivers. (PRE-WOMB PREVENTION PEOPLE)
Youth have access to and work well with families,
schools, businesses, governments & the community.
Youth are the population most affected by sv/dv/rv .
They see and hear what is happening.

ranked 47 out of 50 states

The ACE study confirms the long-term
damage resulting from child abuse.
Such experiences disrupt the normal
development of the brain and lead to
risk factors for violence, disease or
addictions in adulthood.

What is our
magic wand?
Primary
Prevention!
If you had a magic wand,
what is one thing you
would do to prevent
OSN before they begin?
PRIMARY PREVENTION IS
ABOUT UNDERSTANDING
WHY THESE HARMS EXIST
We can’t solve a problem we don’t understand.
If we understand why the problem happens in
the first place, we can prevent it sooner. PP!
So, the trick is, to figure out why and stop those
reasons. The sooner the better.
Ecological Model
Primary Prevention is
preventing harm
before it begins by
building the world we
want to live in!
This is a world where
SAFETY, EQUALITY &
RESPECT are norms.
Dahlberg & Krug 2002
Individual:
Single/multi-session workshops to
educate, great to build relationships and recruit others to
cultivate safety, equality & respect (SER) as norms.
Individuals unite and makes changes across the EM.
Relationship: Cultivating relationships fostering
safety, equality & respect (SER) as norms with students,
schools, families and communities. Critical for success.

Ecological Model
To Maximize
Efforts!
Community:
A family, school, neighborhood &/or
town is included in designing and implementing
permanent solutions promoting SAFETY, EQUALITY &
RESPECT (SER) as norms.
Societal:
PP=‘s Social Change. Policies & Laws that
foster SAFETY, EQUALITY & RESPECT (SER) as norms.
Community & Societal Level Strategies
are the most effective.

“Embrace your guts of goodness.”
It is a great gift to have the STAND & SERVE
program involved in the Tempe community. The
students are amazing, always so respectful and
caring of each other and the community they
represent. They have a knack of sharing
compassion and also making it fun! The staff is
exceptional and so welcoming – they are an
incredible asset to Tempe and I look forward to
working with this program always!

“The Peer Education
component of STAND & SERVE
allows for youth to create
authentic connections and
relationships with one another
and promote safe spaces that
foster ideal community values.
And we have a blast while
doing so.”
Eli Chevalier, Peer Education Coordinator and Junior
at Tempe High School. 5-2014
In a nutshell
1 – Peer Solutions cultivates SER as norms
to end the underlying causes/conditions as
to why these harms exist.
2- The three main reasons violence/harm
exists are Oppression, Silence/Denial and
Normalized Violence/Harm. OSN
(preventioninstitute.org)
G2BG
3- SER is the opposite of OSN.
was developed to cultivate SER as Norms to
prevent OSN before they begin!

Methodology
S&S IS CONSIDERED A
PROMISING/BEST PRACTICE
MODEL AND WE ARE NOW
WORKING TOWARDS ACHIEVEING
EVIDENCE BASED STATUS
Community (Youth)
Mobilization
Community mobilization is a strategy
for involving the entire community in
the process of defining and
transforming social problems!
http://www.communitychange.org/
Evaluation Tools
S&S Science Based Strategies:
Developmental Assets, Diffusion of
Innovation, Peer Education and Mentoring,
Social Norms and Marketing, Social
Emotional Learning and Community and
Youth Development and Mobilization.
In order to
maximize efforts,
families, schools
and communities,
must design and
implement their
own sustainable,
permanent
solutions.
STAND & SERVE
IS WORKING TOWARDS
EVIDENCE BASED STATUS
1- Pre-Post Assessments for all
students and familes. Family
serve as second responders
4- We will also be looking at grades, attendance
and graduation rates of individuals and schools.
2- Control Group/School in
Phoenix
5- We are in the process of interviewing 40
current and past S&S members spanning the last
twenty years to find trends and outcomes.
3- Campus Climate Surveyspre/post comparison
6- Updated Needs Assessment– Students, school
and community.

How do you motivate teens
to take leadership roles?
1. Ongoing FUN movement vs. program
2. 3-R’s – AUTHENTIC Relationship
Building, Recruitment and Retention.
Maintain inclusivity of all identities including
but not limited to age, gender, race, religion,
political affiliation, abilities…
3. Peer Ed Stipends, Food & Incentives Work
4- START A YOUTH LED COALITION - Obtain
free space/food- Hold meetings when youth can attend.
5- Start a YOUTH LED lunch club on a HS
campus that cultivates positive social norms.
6- Start a YOUTH LED afterschool club.
Trained HS peer educators educate & empower
middle/elementary students to become social
change agents/safe responsible bystanders.
(SRB)
7- Make it FREE!!
10- Nominate youth for local
and national awards.
8-Take youth with you.
11- Have students facilitate
at local, state and national
conferences, Days at Cap…..
9- Help students
review what is out
there & help them
update, develop,
implement, evaluate &
sustain activities. Say
12- Put students on your
Board of Directors.
NO to canned programs
& YES to social change
across the ecological
model.
14. Reminders Rule. The frontal lobe is not fully
developed until about 25. It is normal that young people
need a few more reminders. They are learning to
manage very busy schedules & are usually not
intentionally irresponsible.
15. We need to work with young people as equal
partners. Together we make the agendas, develop,
update and facilitate the curriculum. We provide
supplies, transportation, food, incentives and more staff
than one might think. Include family and community, all
ages, all identities. We are one big family that supports
each other while working to make the world a better
place.
13- Have student assist with
grant writing. Some have
unreal & fresh English skills!
SHARING IS CARING

Top Ten TIPS/
LESSONS LEARNED
TIPS/LESSONS LEARNED
to maximize impact…
1- Many young people are not identifying under the
gender binary. Please be inclusive of all identities
and aware that some students are also preferring
they/theirs/them pro-nouns. Asking is OK!
3- Highlight students & PREVENTION
in the media. Press Releases Work!
Think POSITITVE, global impact.
2- Please use Victimization & Perpetration as verbs.
We are preventing the behaviors. When we use
these words as labels, we sometimes get caught up
in the non-helpful blame game and stereotypes.
TIPS/LESSONS LEARNED to maximize impact…
6- Our student’s role is to cultivate a
world free from harm, not prevent their
own victimization. SER TO END OSN
4- Ask students what they want to
do, how & why & then LISTEN & DO.
5- Focus on what we can do, not
what we cant do. This is easy and
funwork! Positive Works!
TIPS/LESSONS LEARNED
to maximize impact…
7- Believe youth are the solution, not
the problem. Assume they want to
make the world a better place. They do!
9- Please do not underestimate
what young people can do and
say. Adults including legislators
LOVE students and positivity.
8- SAFE RESPONSIBLE BYSTANDER– SRB
is about speaking up when you perceive
it to be safe if you see or hear
something that is not ok. Address
racism & sexism across the EM just ASAP.
10- Flush Adultism. We are all
equal partners. We must try to
model what we preach. STAFF
MATTER & SET THE EXAMPLE.
SER TO END OSN
GOOD WINS!
90% of behavior is
learned through
modeling.
Model goodness
& others will too!
You can’t NOT smile at a STAND & SERVE event.
You can’t NOT be inspired. Watching a group of
kids model positivity and exude warmth and
acceptance for their peers, and engage in open
conversation about the harm of child and sexual
abuse, is a rich and unforgettable experience. The
kids’ active involvement, and Peer Solutions’
leadership, in primary prevention fills me with
hope for the next generation of adults in Arizona.

Teens who participate in the STAND & SERVE and Peer
Solutions programs give back to the community on a
large scale as well as in smaller, more intimate
forums. They provide insight on issues that directly
relate to teens on a state, national and even global
level. On a local level, they provide assistance in
community events and their own schools. On the most
intimate of levels, they are positive role models for
the countless peers they interact with in their schools,
community centers and parks.

understanding of how to
successfully motivate teens to

prevention?
Lesson 0
The most important lesson:
WE HAVE TO TAKE CARE OF OURSELVES!
If we are not healthy, we can’t do the work.
Sleep! Take deep breaths. Laugh. Only say positive things
to & about yourself. Keep fun alive in your personal &
professional life. Hang out with people you love. Do what
makes you happy. No stress is success.
