Models of Prevention Programs + books http://www.calib.com/nccanch/pubs/bibs/evaluation.htm ---------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------
This chapter describes the Youth Relationships Program, a violence prevention program targeted to mid-adolescents (aged 14-16 years). The 18-week educational program was designed with the input of youth to address risk factors related to insecure attachment, interpersonal sensitivity, gender role rigidity, sexist social expectations, power assertions, conflict avoidance, and limited problem solving ability and protection skills. Small groups meet for two hours a week with both male and female facilitators in four sessions. Session A explains power in relationships, Session B describes how to break the cycle of violence, Session C explores the contexts of relationship violence, and Session D focuses on breaking the cycle of violence in the community. Training methods include self-report questionnaires, videos, role-playing, social service, and other exercises. Preliminary research findings indicate that youth are interested in the program and integrate what they've learned, at least for the short-term. 34 references and 5 tables.

Public/Private Ventures, Philadelphia, PA, 1992 As part of a larger study to examine the usefulness of mentoring as an intervention serving at-risk youth, this study evaluated the implementation of two pilot programs in Saint Louis (Missouri) and Atlanta (Georgia). Both programs were at public agencies aiming to operate large-scale mentoring programs to serve adjudicated youth between the ages of 12 to 17 years.

This chapter describes the Positive Adolescent Choices Training (PACT) program, a culturally sensitive violence prevention program targeted to African American adolescents. Components of the program include training on social skills (giving and receiving negative feedback); anger management; and education about violence. The approach focuses on helping adolescents develop positive methods of interacting with others and reducing aggressive behaviors that have been modeled and reinforced within their communities. The strategies are intended to counteract the negative effects of faulty cognitive processes, emotional factors, and confrontational situations. Training methods include videotapes, role modeling, group discussion, self-evaluation and feedback, therapeutic games, and whole school assemblies. Cultural considerations are operationalized through environmental features, role models, language, reality base, and facilitator preparation. Program evaluations have found positive outcomes for youth who participated in the training, with reductions in school violence and criminal behavior.

special focus of this manual is on violence in relationships. Dating Violence: Young Women in Danger Both a call for action and a tool for change, this anthology is the first comprehensive resource to address violence in teen dating relationships. Empowering Youth to Develop

Drawing from recent studies concerned with the formation of healthy relationships, this book examines how youths can form connections that will reduce not only the risk of violence against women and children, but also the potential of men to become abusive.
Based on programs developed by Battered Women's Alternatives and the Oakland Men's Project, this book offers a proactive, multicultural approach for getting at the roots of violent behavior. It includes activities and workshops that explore how violence manifests in families and dating; how issues of race, gender, and age are involved; and how teens can work to stop the violence in their lives. It includes curricula for classrooms and support groups, and strategies to support peer counselors and help abused teens.
A workbook written for children, ages 5 to 14, who are currently living in or who have come out of living in a violent situation. For use in a group setting or one-on-one sessions, each page of the 28-page workbook presents the child's worries and concerns and feelings. Children learn they are not responsible for the violence between others, they are encouraged to express their feelings constructively, and they develop a personal safety plan.
