Positive Action provides kits that can be used in a variety of settings. Dr. Black said that Genesis Project would pilot the program at Crossroads Charter School this fall. She also said that even if CMS was not interested, Genesis would provide the program to interested community or other groups. The Blacks provide community service through a nonprofit Family Wellness Center.
