A CURRICULUM IN COUNSELIHG 5

Aim: The counseling program should change the children's and adolescent's lives, better still, preventing excess stress and conflicts in
their lives.

Definition:
Our program contains predefined packages for grades: 9, 10, 11 and 12. This program will highlight on the causes and effects of
aggression as well as the suggestions to deal with conflicts in a safe, positive and well manner situation.

RATIONALE:
According to the political and economic circumstances the world has witnessed since few years, people as well as their children have
suffered a lot. It is also obvious the increasing of racism and aggression among people. Children specially refugees who have suffered
a lot due to war, and get prevented from their needs and their rights to live in a safe and comfortable environment. So, our school
program wants to leave a fingerprint that makes a difference in people's lives. So, we chose to use CBT theory of counseling to help
children deal with conflicts in safe, positive and well manner. This counseling program will help to solve students' problem so the
environment will be more comfortable, and then students' academic achievement will be more effective.

Some examples of positive supports that might be included in a behavior intervention plan are:

 Teaching the student to identify the problem

 Teaching him/her to give possible solutions
 Teaching the student to evaluate the best solution to use it
 Teaching him/ her replacement behaviors
 Rewarding the student for using socially acceptable behavior
 Teaching the student to avoid the behavior "triggers"
 Supporting him at problematic times
