Aggression Replacement Training was put into place during July 2009 in order
to solve the problem of aggression and reshape behaviors stemming from unresolved anger.

Goal: To help youth reshape behaviors stemming from unresolved anger

To become more healthy and whole patrons of society

Components of the Aggression Replacement Training Program

  • Skillstreaming, is composed of five youth and  teaches:

Pro-social behavioral skills through coordinated role-play
Feedback opportunities
Topics of social planning skills, and dealing appropriately with feelings, aggression, and stress.

  • Anger Control Training, is composed of five youth and teaches:

Recognition of personal triggers and cues.
Anger reducers
Thinking ahead about consequences in order to encourage increased self-control

  • Moral Reasoning, is composed of ten youth and focuses on:

Peer feedback and discussions about topics like cheating in school, shop lifting and substance abuse
Learning from their peers and respecting others opinions
Recognizing discussions that are relevant to them

  • Other Facts:

    Each group is an hour and a half, once a week session aimed at targeting the  issues that the youth face in
    day-to-day life.
    Some students may be enrolled in two groups at the same time and would therefore meet twice a week.
    The sessions focus on three main issues which are family, consequence and interactions with each other.
