| Purpose : |
This project will be effective in helping high-risk youth in grades 9-12 raise their grades and manage their anger, while decreasing drug use, depression and risk of suicide.
The Reconnecting Youth lesson curriculum is divided into four major units: Self-Esteem Enhancement, Decision-Making, Personal Control and Interpersonal Communication. It is unique in that it is a comprehensive, sustained, semester-long intervention that integrates small-group work and life-skills training models to effectively enhance the personal and social protective factors of high risk youth.
