SNAP© is an award winning, evidence based manualized cognitive behavioural strategy that was developed at the Child Development Institute in Toronto, Ontario over 30 years ago. Children ages 6-12 participate in a 13 week structured group that teaches self-control and problem solving skills. We challenge the child’s cognitive distortions that result in anti-social behaviour, and encourage an alternative response that results in a positive outcome. By helping children to deal with their anger and manage their emotions, they are able to learn to stop and think before they act, and deal with difficult situations.
