Aggression
Replacement Training (ART) for teens - group
Trained program facilitators use generally accepted and research-based assessment tools, self-evaluation and checklists to evaluate participants in this congnitive-behavioral group. The program involves participants in modeling and role playing, learning specified skills, practice of those skills and practice in using the skills successively. Group participation and interaction is an important part of the process of challenging and mastering at risk youth's distorted thinking patterns. The group is available in two tracts, one for high risk offenders and one for low risk offenders.
ART contains three components: skill-streaming, anger control, and moral reasoning. This program operates under the philosophy that single interventions such as skill-streaming, or anger control training, or moral reasoning, produce less effective results than combining the three together.
Developing Capable Young People (DCYP)
This project addresses juvenile crime effectively and efficiently by increasing the accountability of juvenile offenders through parent-child responsibility and accountability. Parents of adjudicated youth participate in Developing Capable Young PeopleTM, a ten-week curriculum aimed at positive youth development. Each 21/2-hour session includes an audio/video program introduction, small group interaction, role play, and homework assignments. Supplemental program homework assignments include readings and activities from Raising Self-Reliant Children in a Self-Indulgent World and Positive Discipline.
Family Service Society's Family Preservation Services staff (trained case managers and Master's level therapists) facilitate Developing Capable Young PeopleTM for parents referred by Grant County Juvenile Probation. Ten to fifteen parents referred by Grant County Probation participate in each session. These parents then impact ten to fifteen youth, holding them more accountable for their behavior and providing increased supervision.
