What is the Coping Skills Program?
The Coping Skills Program is preventative based program that uses metaphors to help teach good coping skills. There are parenting notes included, so there is no worry about what you will say or trying to figure out what lesson your child should be learning from each of the stories. The program was written by G. Bert Allain, MSW, LCSW, a licensed clinical social worker with over 30 years post masters experience working with troubled youth, adult mental health and substance abuse clients. His experience working with adults and youth with life difficulties lead to the development of this prevention concept Coping Skills.
