Licensed SNAP® programming
Stop Now And Plan: skills children and caregivers can use together.
Since 2015, SNAP Family Center has delivered the SNAP® program under licence with Child Development Institute. The program teaches emotional regulation, self-control and problem-solving so children can manage strong emotions and “keep problems small.”
Children’s Group
Through activities, discussion, role-play and games, children practise skills related to anger, self-control, self-esteem, fair play, bullying and peer conflict.
Caregiver Group
Running at the same time as the children’s group, caregivers learn practical parenting and communication strategies while connecting with other families.
SNAP for Schools
A 13-week school-based prevention approach that supports educators in addressing disruptive and bullying behaviours through a standardized digital tool. Contact us for availability and costs.
SNAP® is a registered trademark owned by Child Development Institute, Toronto, Canada, and is used under licence.
