WE LEAP understands that all young people need a space to discuss their relationships.

I-SEND workshops provide participants with an opportunity for safe, open discussions about teen violence and unhealthy relationships. The training workshops we provide can be fully adapted for individual learning styles and tailored to the experiences of the specific participants in the program.
