Coping Power: Workbook: Child group program
John E. Lochman, Karen Wells, and Lisa Lenhart
Abstract
This program is an evidence-based intervention for behavioral in pre-adolescent children (grades 5 and 6). This intervention targets children who are beginning to show signs of severe aggression and social dysfunction at school. Children who begin to exhibit aggression as pre-adolescents are much more likely to have histories of substance abuse, interpersonal violence, and criminal behavior in their adolescence. By targeting these children before their behavior has become extremely dangerous or unmanageable, this program has been proven to reduce the occurrence of these problems, and to improve functioning in school. This online workbook is for children and includes worksheets and monitoring forms to track progress and reinforce the skills learned in the group sessions.
