Book Description

This mediation program provides eight 2-hour training sessions. The purpose of the Train-the-Trainer (TtheT?) manual is to provide easy-to-follow training instruction for inexperienced as well as experienced youth workers. For over 30 years we have been improving peer relations and reducing disruptive behavior. Over 85% of the average social service dollar is spent on treating PREVENTABLE PROBLEMS rather than on actual PREVENTION. Critical thinking and social skills training is a PREVENTION APPROACH. These skills prevent the deep-rooted reality of disempowerment that shows itself in low self-esteem. Learning these skills will change a verbal attack into a problem-solving discussion and prevent the advanced stage of a physical attack. Benefits: This Training Series . . .?Is a low-cost and high-results way to modify behavior.?Is convenient: You are the Trainer. You can train any number of participants at a time, at any time. ?Saves time, energy, and cost spent on disruptive behaviors.?Youth become a part of the solution -versus - a part of the problem.?Is an investment in the Future.
