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.

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!
