In our community there is too much violent behavior among the youth population. The rate is currently 178 out of 694

students between ages 9-11. It would be much better to be closer to 70 out

of 694.This problem is a result

of heightened cognitive,

emotional, and physiological sensations. (Eugene R.

Oetting, and Calvin C. Kemper, 1996).

Children ages 9-12 will

participate in Cognitive Relaxation

Coping Skills. It is a program that teaches

students different ways to cope with their feelings of anger and teaches them how to relax

during a stressful situation.

The outputs will be a monthly

count of how many children ages 9-12 sign

up for and participate in the program.

The percent of depression

among youth will be lower for

those participating in the program as

compared to those not

participating in the program.

The percent levels of

depression and anxiety in youth will be lower for

those participating in the program as

compared to those not

participating in the program.

The community problem, youth

violent behavior, will

decline from the current amount

of 178 out of 694 students closer to the

desired lower level of 70 out

of 694 students.
