Abstract

Abstract The Coping Power Program (Lochman, Wells, & Lenhart, in press; Wells, Lochman, & Lenhart, in press) is an indicated preventive intervention designed to address malleable risk factors for aggression, delinquency, and substance abuse in at-risk children prior to the middle school transition. Manualized child and parent group components feature intervention activities that target distal and proximal risk factors for children’s aggressive behavior. This chapter will describe the contextual social-cognitive model of risk for aggression on which the Coping Power Program is based, provide an overview of the program and its empirical support, and present manualized sessionby-session content on social problem solving from the child component module.
