Working with Children and Young People: Addressing Disruptive Behaviour - HFCF Intervention Guide

Description

Intervention guide editor: Hilary Eldridge

This guide recognises the increasing risk of externalising (i.e. disruptive/anti-social behaviour in children and young people who have been exposed to maltreatment as they approach adolescence). 

• enhance their competence by developing a ‘Good Life’, to achieve their primary goals in socially acceptable ways
• address disruptive behaviour, to manage anger, reduce disruptive, verbally aggressive and impulsive behaviour and understand the benefits of doing so
• assert themselves in more appropriate ways, practicing everyday situations
• develop positive relationships with family and friends, learning new social skills.
