This is a nation-wide program unlike any other. SEED’s adherence to STRIVE4YOU’s peer to peer approach makes it unique. Our curriculum has been developed principally by and for people with disabilities. SEED’s goal is to teach a principled approach to recognizing, analyzing, and responding to potentially threatening situations.
