Many students lack adequate social skills (i.e.: dealing with accusations, teasing, rejection, anger). START is an evidence-based cognitive-behavioral intervention program for chronically aggressive students in K-12th grades. Its goals are to improve social skills, anger control and moral reasoning skills.
Benefits of START Training
By attending the START training you can help students break the cycle of aggression through behavioral, emotional and cognitive skill development.
- Gain an understanding and learn to implement lessons in:
- Skillstreaming (behavioral component)—learning new ways to handle trigger situations
- Anger control (emotional component)—learning step-by-step way to turn an angry response to a constructive or problem-solving response
- Moral reasoning (cognitive component)—learning to apply honesty, loyalty and other positive values to situations
- Become prepared to conduct a START group for targeted youth in your school, facility or organization
Background
Contact Community Services has extensive experience in implementing START in its alternative education program, Success Through Early Prevention (STEP), operated in partnership with the Syracuse City School District.
START is based on The Prepare Curriculum developed by Arnold P. Goldstein of Syracuse University in the 1990s. Because of its proven outcomes, The Prepare Curriculum’s Aggression Replacement Therapy is identified as a recommended program by the U.S. Department of Education, a validated program by the New York State Department of Education, a model program by the U.S. Department of Justice and by the American Correctional Facility, and an accredited program by the U.K. Home Office Probation Unit. It has been widely implemented both nationally and internationally in school, delinquency and mental health settings.
The bottom line: START reduces disciplinary referrals and in-school and out-of-school suspensions.
