Description Program Srvc AccomIn 2020, Release the Fear worked with 604 students in 9 Bridging Possibilities Workshops before COVID-19 forced them to shut down.COVID-19 The COVID-19 Pandemic had a huge impact on the Release the Fear programs. Because all of the RTF workshops prior to the pandemic were in-person, RTF took the time and continued to develop new evidence-based curriculum for teachers and students. They worked hard to adapt to the restrictions, and to find new ways of providing our high-quality character education that includes conflict resolution using social-emotional learning skills for underserved youth.Since 2002, Release the Fear has interacted with over 13,000 Arizona youth and families, empowering them with life skills to help them cope with many of the issues they face on a daily basis. Youth completing Release the Fear workshops begin to realize their positive potential and realize that they matter.DescriptionProgramSrvcAccomTxt
