Do you work with children who are having difficulty at home, school, and/or in the community? Are you concerned about those children and want them to have access to the supports they need? If so, join us on October 1st for a virtual lunch and learn about how you can help bring the award-winning Stop Now And Plan (SNAP®) program to Manitoba.
One in five children in Canada struggles with a mental health disorder, and approximately 80% of these children are not able to access the help they need. The most common diagnoses among these children are Disruptive Behaviour Problems including aggression, bullying, rule-breaking, Conduct Disorder, and Oppositional Defiant Disorder. These serious behavioural problems undermine a child’s ability to make reasoned, informed decisions. If left untreated, these children are at serious risk of continuing down a negative path towards school drop-out and anti-social behaviour.
Everything can change with SNAP.
Let us show you how.
