This workshop will equip participants to teach youth the psychosocial skills necessary for avoiding violence by working out interpersonal problems in a socially competent manner. We will begin by reviewing the research on causes of youth violence to identify the risk factors that interventions need to address. Then, we will review the outcome research to identify intervention strategies that do and do not work. Most of the day will be spent training participants in techniques to use with youth. There will be an emphasis on specific points and statements, to make to young people struggling with aggressive impulses. These techniques are effective both in prevention programs in schools and in treatment conducted in clinical and juvenile justice settings.
The Continuing Education Program of the Mandel School of Applied Social Sciences is pleased to bring you 33 workshops for the Fall 2007 Series. We believe these workshops that have been planned will prepare you for meeting the multiple needs of the individual, organizational and community clients that you are serving. We welcome your suggestions for future workshop topics or presenters that you would like to see us feature in future continuing education workshops, and thank you for your continued support of the program.
