BASIC - Centerstone

Centerstone’s Project BASIC (Better Attitudes and Skills In Children) has been serving elementary schools in Tennessee since 1985. Project BASIC provides educational, yet entertaining, activities to help young students build self-esteem and learn decision-making skills. The self-confidence development by Project BASIC will help students make good choices now and throughout the years to come. Prevention Specialists meet twice a month with children in individual, group or full classroom sessions using a variety of techniques and activities (stories, booklets and puppets).Through these activities, students develop a better self-concept and, as a result, come to expect more from themselves. The curriculum is in grades K-3 and is provided free of charge to students in participating schools.
