With nine program components for success, the SNAP® (Stop Now and Plan) Program for young boys and the SNAP® Girls Connection Program are designed for children ages 6-11 who are participating in antisocial behavior and/or have come in contact with police as a result of their own behavior.

SNAP® helps children and parents deal effectively with anger by teaching them how to respond in a way that makes their problems smaller, not bigger. With help and practice, children and parents are able to stop, calm down and generate positive solutions at the 'snap of their fingers.'

Children and their families may participate in some or all of the following program components (based on their needs) with the goal of preventing future antisocial behavior and reducing the chances of becoming in conflict with the law. Experienced and highly trained staff work together with you to assess the problems and create an action plan.
