1/29/2013 / Kid & Youth Connection- Curriculum Support Group Training K-12- 8:30 – 4:30
Substance use is one of the most powerful predictors for future behavioral health problems, including delinquency and interpersonal violence. The earlier the substance use/experimentation begins, the higher the risks for future problems. Kids’ Connection and Youth Connection are interactive, multi-cultural Curriculum-Based Support Group (CBSG®) programs that teach high-risk children and youth ages 4-15 a set of essential life skills: skills to help them learn how to cope with difficult family situations, resist peer pressure, set and achieve goals, and refuse alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs. This training is designed to fully equip schools, community-based organizations and other youth service professionals to implement either Kids’ Connection or Youth Connection and those completing the training receive either a copy of the CBSG® Program Facilitator Manual – Kids’ Connection for Ages 4-12 or the CBSG® Program Facilitator Manual – Youth Connection for Ages 10-15. Curriculum includes CD and student handouts in English and Spanish.
