About Us
ABOUT
The Center for Anti-bullying & Non-Violence (CAN) has taken leadership in developing the Peace4Kids model that is highly effective with aggressive youth. This model took its roots from the original Aggression Replacement Training program developed by the late Arnold P. Goldstein from Syracuse University. His program is well-researched, and effective and is used world-wide with delinquent youths. The Center offers trainings in the Peace4Kids model. Other trainings we offer include character education, K-12 Model Guidance programs, Restorative Justice, Parent Empowerment, conflict mediation, peer helping, effective discipline programs, grant writing, alternative school development and school-wide character education.
We are a non-profit organization and our staff is working toward creating a “family” of individuals that improve the way we build social skills and character with children and families.
OUR MISSION
“We believe in helping students and parents develop social competence skills through a wide variety of programs including creation of evidence-based curriculum materials, trainings, staff development, procurement of grants and researching and communicating what works.”
