SNAP® for Kids

The SNAP® Model is designed for children aged 6-11 who are engaging in aggressive, antisocial behaviour and/or have come into contact with the police as a result of their own behaviour. Stop Now and Plan (SNAP®) is an award winning evidence-based manualized cognitive-behavioural program. SNAP® helps children and parents deal effectively with anger by teaching them how to respond in a way that makes their problems smaller, not bigger. With help and practice, children and parents are able to stop, calm down and generate positive solutions at the "snap of their fingers."

A child and his/her family may participate in the SNAP® components, with the goal of preventing future antisocial behaviour and reducing the chances of future conflict with the law. Experienced and highly trained SNAP® staff work together with you to assess the problems and create an action plan.
