| Help Youth Think Better, Feel Better, Relate Better: Empower Them with Critical Social, Emotional, and Cognitive Skills | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| Decade the 1990s: Jonesboro, Arkansas; Edinboro, Pennsylvania; Paducah, Kentucky; Houston, Texas; Springfield, Oregon; Littleton, Colorado - Another School, Another Senseless Act of Violence. Indicators of troubled youth and adults are all too familiar: School dropouts, gang involvement, alcohol and other drug abuse, unintended pregnancy, crime, violence, homicide, and suicide. The threats to the physical, social, and emotional well being of today's youth are unparalleled in human history. Intervention and prevention strategies must focus on social, emotional, and cognitive skill deficits that seem to permeate all dysfunctional manifestations of child and adolescent high-risk behavior. For example, incarcerated youth often have social skill deficits in anger management and conflict resolution skills. The adolescent facing an unintended pregnancy often lacks social and cognitive skills such as assertiveness skills and abstract reasoning (i.e., the ability to see the long-range consequences of high-risk behaviors). Finally, the potential school dropout often manifests the cognitive skill deficits of problem solving, decision-making, and self-management. This comprehensive skillbook provides over 180 social, emotional, and cognitive skills using a Psychoeducational Life Skills Training Model that can be integrated school counselor prevention strategies. It is easy to use, very pragmatic, and addresses the critical needs of today's youth. |
