Equipping Young People to Choose Non-Violence is a 12-session programme for those working with young people aged10+ whose use of violent or aggressive behaviour isproblematic.Designed to be used individually, the programme is grounded inrestorative justice principles and encourages the young person to take responsibility for their behaviour. It also supports them in recognizing the effects of their actions and in identifying ways to repair the harm caused, and teaches them new skills indealing with conflict and avoiding future violence. A theorysection explains the value and evidence base and providesguidance on delivering the programme. Each session is clearlylaid out with identified objectives, how to begin and end thesession, and photocopiable handouts are included.This will be of great use to all those working with young peopleinvolved in violent behaviour, including youth offending teams,social workers, youth workers and school counsellors.
Acknowledgements. Introduction. Part 1. Background. 1. The Foundations of the Choosing Non-Violence Programme. 2. Facilitating the Choosing Non-Violence Programme. 3. Delivering an Ethical and Effective Service. Part 2. The Choosing Non-Violence Programme. Appendix 1. 'Taking Care of Yourself' Resources. Appendix 2. Evaluation Forms and Templates.
Overall I think this is a valuable resource for anyone working with violent young people, but it should be used with caution by anyone who is not therapeutically trained. I wholeheartedly applaud the idea of Multisystemic Therapy and wonder why this is not used more widely.
