Risk factors and Interventions in Violence Prevention
This session will identify precursers of aggressive behavior in individuals of different ages including preschoolers and adolescents. It will additionally describe interventions with families including Hipanic mothers and young parents that are targeted to reduce stress and provide support. The identification of both risk factors and targeted interventions in family violence prevention is a critical supplement to existing program development.
Learning Objectives: 1. Recognize the behavioral and psychological markers of sexually agressive behavior among adolescents. 2. Identify the development of physically aggressive behavior among prescschoolers. 3.Identify interventions that provide support or reduce stress in high risk families.
