SNAP @ Woodview Mental Health and Autism Services

SNAP® stands for “Stop Now and Plan.” It is a proven method of assisting children struggling with behavioural issues and their parents. SNAP® provides a framework for teaching emotional regulation, self-control, problem-solving skills and how to “keep problems small”. SNAP® teaches children how to modify their negative behaviours. It teaches them to make better behaviour choices ‘in the moment’. They learn to stop, think, and plan. The methods are taught in weekly group sessions over 12 weeks. Groups are gender specific. The child, sibling(s) and parent(s) must attend each session. SNAP® also offers individual and family counselling including weekly phone check-ins. After group sessions end, follow-up sessions are available. School support and advocacy are also part of the SNAP® program.
