AIMS OF INTERVENTION
This course is aimed at establishing a ‘relationship’ with a difficult student; looking at who and what they trust and why they make the decisions which get them into trouble. It differs from other ‘About me’ interventions as it’s main focus is on poor behavior, difficult relationships, poor decisions and choices of the student. This file is for students who get into trouble on a regular basis and they need to be redirected onto a more positive path.
FACILITATOR NOTES
