General Approach:
These curricula are intended to serve as guides. The length, format, curriculum name, and content may be adapted to meet participants’ unique needs, preferences, and goals. Resources were developed using trauma-informed, culturally relevant, and evidence-informed practices and aligned with the PROS Redesign. Please refer to your program's regulatory manual for specific guidance and regulations. Some curricula include supplemental materials, while others may require facilitators to adapt materials to meet the geographic, cultural, and demographic needs of their population.
