STudents & Athletes for Healthy RelationshipS



FEATURED PROJECTS



High schools program



We've had great feedback from the high school students to date, both in Colorado and Hawaii. Their feedback has helped shape the materials and presentations. Presentations include: Understanding Interpersonal Violence, Conflict Resolution, and Communication Skills.


STAHRS hopes to work with student athletes from middle schools and high schools to teach them about healthy relationship dynamics and to recognize the warning signs of teen dating violence. Our young men need to learn how & why to respect women instead of the typical sexual objectification. Our young women need to learn that they deserve to be treated with respect and to "NEVER SETTLE" for less. They need to learn how to build self-esteem, self-respect, and self-confidence as these are great protective factors to avoiding unhealthy relationships.


STAHRS wants to thank Troy Freitas, Peer Education teacher at Radford High School in Honolulu for his ongoing support as we have been able to engage his students several times each semester for the past couple years.


We especially want to thank his students for their fantastic feedback, input, engaging discussions, and guidance.

The Projects & Services



IN OUR SCHOOLS
STAHRS is an evolving organization open to reaching students and athletes through various mechanisms and settings. The overall objective is to present in high schools and middle schools Hawaii & Colorado for now. We are focused on schools serving our military families and economically under-resourced areas.

High Schools:
We started finding our legs and gathering feedback with PE students of Mountain Vista HS in April 2019 and psychology class students at Parker Lutheran in November 2019. Since then, STAHRS relocated to O'ahu, HI and has been developing materials and presentations with the Peer Education classes at Radford HS near Pearl Harbor. A massive shout out and Mahalo Nui Loa to Troy Frietas, the Peer Ed teacher.

Elementary Schools:
STAHRS has been donating sets of books, Bruno's Amazing Adventures, often 1-2 dozen sets per school, to the elementary schools serving our military families and economically disadvantaged areas for the critical issues addressed in each of the books. The books address such issues as travel and creating inner peace, overcoming personal adversity, the value of inclusion and bullying prevention, how discrimination is taught, taking care of the environment and outdoor adventures, etc.


EMPLOYERS & BUSINESSES:
Personnel costs are typically the #1 expense for all businesses.
Safety incidents, recruiting and retaining of personnel often represent costs where control could be exercised through improved
Team Cohesion and Team Performance.

Emotional Intelligence is the glue to Team Cohesion and Team Performance. Emotional Intelligence is understanding basic psychology and human behaviors, especially the negative affect of interpersonal violence. Team Performance and Safety issues are greatly influenced by emotional intelligence, or lack thereof.

STAHRS can help YOUR team with a half-day or full-day training.


To Be Developed:
Individual & Couples counseling for professional athletes.
Recreational-Therapeutic Program Veterans and school shooting victims.
