Variety of Behavioral Health Settings

Based on an empirical model of risk factors for potential antisocial behavior. For high-risk children, ages 8 -14, it addresses deficits in social cognition, self-regulation, peer relations, and positive parental involvement. The program has both a child and parent intervention component and is designed to be presented in an integrated manner. The Child Component consists of 34 group sessions. The Parent Component consists of 16 sessions offered during the same time frame. The child component focuses on anger management, social problem solving, and practicing skills to resist peer pressure. The parent component of the program focuses on supporting involvement and consistency in parenting, which also contributes to better adjustment.
