PASS has organized a variety of presentations to improve behavioral skills, career development, and college preparation. PASS presenters have come from a variety of local partnering organizations, municipalities, and community colleges such as Carl Sandburg College, BlackHawk College, Illinois Attorney General’s Office, Tri-State Family Services, Bridgeway Mental Health and Cottage Hospital. The presentations have included such topics as handling aggression, sexual responsibilities, consumer fraud information, digital safety, safe driving practices, mental health and positive self-esteem.
