STOP VIOLENCE START SAFETY

This one- week program is the only one of its kind in Northern Utah, designed for students suspended for safe- school violations. When suspended, the student and parent/guardian sign a contract with school district personnel agreeing to complete this program before being officially reinstated in school. Classes include: Empathy and Interpersonal Skills, Conflict Resolution and Anger Management, Perception and Self Talk, Values, Choices and Goals, and Safety Strategies/Violence Prevention. Evaluative statistics as well as counselor feedback have shown very positive results. After graduation from this program, more students are showing improved behavior, allowing them to stay in school without re-suspension.
