STARS Nashville is the leader in middle Tennessee for youth prevention curriculum and resources.
Our mission is to help all students overcome social and emotional barriers to learning. Training for schools and community organizations is essential if students are going to succeed. STARS Nashville seeks to include all those who care for our children by helping them to understand those non-academic barriers to learning which prohibit young people from reaching their full potential. Training and professional development for entire school systems, school administrators, teachers, guidance counselors, and all school support personnel, as well as parents and community-based organizations address those tough issues which challenge their students on a daily basis. Below is a sample list of our most most requested topics. To schedule a training for your school or community, please contact Anna Nichols.
