MORAL KOMBAT 9A/B Manual Designed for Individual / Family use and/or Small Groups

Truancy is one of the leading causes of teens not graduating high school, living in poverty, and ending up in prison. Kids are truant for a variety of reasons-friends, poor relationship with teachers, a disconnectedness from their school, lack of interest in class topics, being bullied or teased, low self-esteem, drug or alcohol use, language barriers, lack of adequate social skills, etc. In this program, utilizing cognitive behavioral strategies and approaches, we educate our youth with eye-opening insight into the laws and regulations that, in many states, charges parents with Class C Misdemeanors for each day a child misses school. The program empowers youth to succeed by giving them specific options for overcoming their fears and insecurities. It offers ethical decision-making strategies that work, by teaching them (through a facilitated, mentored environment) proven communication, conflict resolution and negotiation skills.
