Youth Violence Prevention Program
THE NEED FOR ANGER MANAGEMENT . . . .
Today’s young people need strong social skills to help them handle conflicts with peers, family members, teachers, employers, and others. Poorly managed anger is frequently a factor in assaults and other crimes that lead young people into the criminal justice system. Even when anger does not result in violence, when expressed in other unconstructive ways it can lead to broken family relationships, school suspension, lost jobs, and other diminished opportunities that put young people at greater risk for criminal activity. Topics include: Conflict Resolution, Self-Esteem, De-Escalating Situations, Peer Pressure, Decision Making, Substance Abuse and Anger, etc.
THE NEED FOR PARENT INVOLVEMENT . . . .
The objective of parent participation is to provide them with support, resources to help their child with anger issues, and enhance communication skills. Parents that participate in the program will benefit from strengthening the family bond, reinforces what children are learning and opens opportunities for family discussion.
