SNAP Program
SNAP®, which stands for STOP NOW AND PLAN, is an evidence-based, cognitive behavioral model powered by the minds at Child Development Institute (CDI). SNAP® helps troubled children and their parents learn how to effectively manage their emotions and ‘keep problems small’.
The gender-sensitive SNAP® Boys and SNAP® Girls program is designed for children ages 6-11 who are engaging in aggressive, anti-social behavior and/or have come into contact with authority figures at school or in the community. Children and families participate with the goal of preventing future anti-social behavior and reducing the chances of conflict with family, peers and authority figures.
SNAP® for Schools & Communities is an educational curriculum provided in elementary schools focusing on topics such as managing anger , handling peer pressure and dealing with bullying with the overall goal of increasing productive school attendance.
SNAP® services are completely free to youth and their families! The SNAP® program is funded through the Department of Juvenile Justice and families do not pay for services. In addition to providing services free, SNAP® families are fed healthy meals and snacks at each SNAP® session. Sibling care and in-county transportation can be provided if needed.
