Aggression Replacement Training (ART)
In partnership with Sonoma County Juvenile Probation, Circuit Rider offers 10-week sessions of Aggression Replacement Training® (ART) throughout each year. ART is a research-based, cognitive-behavioral approach for working with youth. Circuit Rider’s staff are trained and certified in providing ART.
ART features three coordinated and integrated components:
Social Skills Training—Teaches participants what to do, helping them replace antisocial behaviors with positive alternatives.
Anger Control—Teaches participants what not to do, helping them respond to anger in a nonaggressive manner and rethink anger-provoking situations.
Moral Reasoning—Helps raise participants' level of fairness, justice, and concern for the needs and rights of others.
