Parenting can be tough at the best of times, but family life has changed dramatically during social isolation that’s been mandated by COVID-19. The good news is that children thrive in an incredible variety of settings. Emerging evidence suggests that a little stress, particularly in the context of a supportive parent-child relationship, can actually be beneficial because it builds resilience when taking on future challenges. Here are a few research-based strategies to make this unprecedented time more enjoyable. (Source www. theconversation.com

In less than a week, the Family and Social Services will be welcoming the 3rd cohort to the Aggression Replacement Training (ART). This program is a cognitive-behavioral intervention that focuses on adolescents, training them to cope with their aggression and violent behavior. It is a multimodal program that has three component: Social skills, anger control training and moral reasoning.
Social Skills Training teaches participants what to do, helping them replace anti-social behavior with positive alternatives
Anger Control teaches participants what not to do, helping them respond to anger in a nonaggressive manner and rethink anger provoked situations.
Moral Reasoning helps raise participants' level of fairness, justice, and concern for the needs and rights of others.
This program is a ten (10) weeks program that is held three(3) times a week at our office.
At this point, we only offer this program to children who have been in contact with the law or under our supervision.
