START \u2013 Social Skills & Aggression Replacement Techniques<\/h1>\n\t\t\t\t\t

START helps children and teens replace impulsive or aggressive reactions with practical social and emotional skills<\/a>. Youth learn to recognize what sets them off, stay in control, resolve conflict, and make better decisions \u2014 at home, at school, and with friends.<\/p>\n\t\t

\n \t\t\t

Ideal for:<\/strong> Children & adolescents<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Focus:<\/strong> Social skills, anger management & decision-making<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

How START Works<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Built on three core areas<\/h2>\n\t\t
\n
\n \t\t\t

Social Skills Training<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Everyday skills for communicating, getting along with others, and handling difficult moments in positive ways.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t

Anger Control<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Recognizing anger and emotional triggers early, and using proven techniques to stay calm and in control.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t

Moral Reasoning<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Understanding consequences, taking other people's perspectives, and building empathy to guide better choices.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t

Sessions use modeling, role-play, feedback, and practice outside the session<\/strong>, so new skills carry over into real life \u2014 not just the therapy room.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/section>\n
