The Gang Prevention and Intervention program is built on a proven motivational enhancement(MET) and cognitive behavior (CBT) model. The program reduces resistence, builds youth participation, and guides the process of change. Problem solving skills and coping skills for avoidance, escape, refusaal, or resistance follow a proven social learning model, with the critical goal of increasing individual self-efficacy. Youth who complete the curriculum will be able to:
*recognize high-risk people, places, things and situations
*use specific techniques to handle these risks effectively
*demonstrate competence in problem solving and avoidance, feelings management(self-monitoring and emotional intelligence), and impulse control.
*identify and engage critical protective factors or assets, including developing a network of safe and supportive people
*develop pro-social values and behaviors, such as the selection of pro-social friends, empathy for others, the development of positive goals, involvement with a personal support system, participation in positive community organizations and activities.
At the end of the programs, youth will have a detailed action plan identifying specific individuals, programs and activities which will support their positive efforts-and supplant inappropriate or dangerous people, places, things, situations, or ther high risk factors.
