Our instructors lead this dynamic 5 day course in a truly interactive and engaging way. You're an important part of the training from Day 1! That's because for 5 days you participate as an instructor, participant and coach while implementing and refining your ART® techniques. By the end of the course you'll have plenty of perspective and experience. You'll also be certified to facilitate ART® groups.

Knowledgeable instructors lead the class through:

• Structured Learning Training
• Anger Control Training
• Moral Reasoning
• See our course agenda

• ART® is an evidence-based curriculum, approved by OYA, that when applied properly has been proven to help youth think and behave less aggressively.
• The ART® intervention is multi-modal and is delivered to clients in one hour sessions that occur three times per week.
• See Washington State Institute for Public Policy's Preliminary findings on ART® implementation.

This 5 day course is free to all OYA staff. The cost for non-OYA staff is $250. A training manual is provided for each participant.

Participants are encouraged to bring their own copy of the book:
Aggression Replacement Training ®: A Comprehensive Intervention for Aggressive Youth by Dr. Arnold P. Goldstein, Dr. Barry Glick, and Dr. John C. Gibbs.
