This eight-session, in-school group intervention uses cognitive-behavioral principles to bolster life skills such as focusing on action, setting goals, solving problems, and coping. The message embedded in the curriculum is one of self-efficacy and self-confidence, drawing on young womens strengths and teaching them how to manage the challenges of school, relationships, parenting, and employment. A treatment manual with detailed guidelines for establishing and leading a culturally diverse group, this guide also reviews the successful results of three school-based trials of the program, vividly illustrated with vignettes and containing all of the handouts and materials necessary for a school-based professional to implement the program.\n\n -- Groups can be led by social workers, counselors, school nurses, teachers, and even volunteers with little additional training\n -- An all-in-one treatment manual provides dialogue, forms, and handouts for facilitators to use in each session\n -- Empowers young women to take charge of their education and develop skills that will help them succeed in school and in life","brand":"Oxford University Press Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54227857801560,"sku":"9780195172942","price":47.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780195172942.jpg?v=1769776232","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/taking-charge-9","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
