VIEW CLASS SCHEDULES
A 4-HOUR SEMINAR MEETING THE NEEDS OF PRE-TEENS THROUGH EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING TECHNIQUES

Program Overview

Client success is based on the age-appropriateness of the instruction in relation to the developmental stage of the client. The closer the relation, the more successful the client will be in incorporating the new ideas and concepts.

Young Offenders is a progressive program utilizing hands-on, experiential exercises, activities and demonstrations to teach healthy choices and positive decision making to pre-teens.

Pre-teenagers between the ages of 9-12 years exhibit lower frustration tolerance and shorter attention spans than their teenage counterparts, often leading to poor decisions and choices. Age-appropriate class settings are the key to both their understanding and integration of the material.

  • Influences
  • Values
  • Role Models
  • Impulse Control

FOCUSING ON ETHICS, IMPULSE CONTROL AND LIFE SKILLS

Program Overview

The Discovery program is designed to reach clients who are engaged in self-defeating behaviors and educates clients about themselves and teaches positive life skills.

This is a general offender program, helping clients realize a sense of responsibility and respect for themselves and others. The course focuses primarily on ethics clarification (where our beliefs and attitudes come from), impulse control and self-esteem building. Discovery incorporates Cognitive Behavioral approaches and Social Learning Theory to create a positive and diverse environment for understanding behaviors and motivations.

The interactive approach allows clients to identify their core beliefs and discover the reasons behind many of their negative and problematic behaviors. Participants will leave with positive alternatives and a better understanding of themselves.

Topics Include:
  • Ethics and Values Clarification
  • Costs and Legal Issues
  • Impulse Control
  • Boundary Setting
  • Self-Esteem Building
  • Life Skills
  • Anger Management
