The Violence Intervention Program: Helping Teens Manage Anger and Aggression
In order for young people to focus on learning, schools need to be a place where students and staff feel safe. This seminar addresses the practical steps schools can take to reduce aggression, limit avoidable conflicts and prevent violence. In this seminar, you will learn to utilize The Violence Intervention Program, a clearly defined, 10-session program you can use with students most likely to be disruptive. Many schools use this program as a positive alternative to suspension. You will leave the seminar with a multifaceted approach to help students become aware of their aggression, develop skills to deal with their feelings, and make decisions about what further help they need to continue the positive changes made in group.
