A three-part intervention method for working with antisocial or behavior disordered adolescents. The approach includes training in moral judgment, anger management/correction of thinking errors, and prosocial skills. Youth involved in the EQUIP training program participate in two types of group sessions Equipment Meetings (in which the leader teaches specific skills) and Mutual Help Meetings (in which the leader coaches students as they use the skills they've learned to help each other). The EQUIP program received the 1998 Reclaiming Children and Youth Spotlight on Excellence Award. In addition to being widely used in the U.S., EQUIP has been adapted for use in Canada, the Netherlands, and several other countries.

The Equip Program,
By Danny H Kwon (Salem, WV United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The EQUIP Program: Teaching Youth to Think and Act Responsibly Through a Peer - Helping Approach (Paperback)
Many at-risk youth have violent tendencies and an inability to emphatize. This book teaches the adult care-giver, through detailed lesson plans and a comprehensive report of the authors research, a way to teach at-risk youth a sense of moral behavior. While most therapies seem to focus on behavior modification, this program recognizes that lasting change requires more... that is, a development of morality and the ability to empathize with other human beings in society. The book reads like a doctoral thesis (very dry) but an excellent source of information and most importantly, a fully prepared plan that one can implement with their target group.

A valuable asset to anyone working with at risk youth!,
By A Customer
This review is from: The EQUIP Program: Teaching Youth to Think and Act Responsibly Through a Peer - Helping Approach (Paperback)
The Equip Program is easy to follow and provides great pointers to the people conducting the "meetings." This program helps promote positive change in youths through common sense and common language. The "meetings" are easy to implement and the lessons that are learned will help foster positive and productive decision making for a life-time!
