What is SNAP®?
SNAP®, which stands for Stop Now And Plan, is an evidence-based behavioral model that provides a framework for teaching children struggling with behavior issues, and their parents, effective emotional regulation, self-control and problem-solving skills. The primary goal of SNAP is to keep children in school and out of trouble by helping them make better choices "in the moment."
What programs are available?
The core SNAP programs, SNAP Boys and SNAP Girls, are gender-specific programs for children ages 6-11 experiencing disruptive behavior problems.
Other SNAP programs include: SNAP Youth Programs, SNAP Schools, SNAP for Aboriginal Communities, SNAP Youth Justice and Camp 323. For descriptions of these programs, please see the Other SNAP programs section.
SNAP Boys is a family-focused, early intervention program for boys ages 6 to11 who are engaging in problematic, aggressive, antisocial behavior and/or have come into contact with authority figures. The program aims to prevent antisocial behavior and reduce the chance of future conflict with authorities through timely and effective early intervention. Experienced and highly-trained SNAP staff work with parents to assess problems and create and evaluate treatment/action plans.
SNAP Girls is a family-focused, gender-specific early intervention program for girls ages 6-11 exhibiting early disruptive behavior problems at home, school and in their community. The program components are similar to the SNAP Boys program, but there are important differences based on research and best practices for treating girl aggression. In SNAP Girls, for example, there is greater emphasis on communication and relationship-building.
Who should attend SNAP?
Boys and girls, ages 6-11, experiencing serious behavioral problems at home, at school, with persons in authority, and in the community can benefit from the SNAP Boys/SNAP Girls programs.
