The Stop Now And Plan (SNAP®) F.A.T.H.E.R.S Program serves as a “front-end” resource to the Department of Juvenile Justice Office of Prevention for Fathers of children between the ages of 6 and 12, and their families.

¨ The SNAP® program provides high-risk youth and their families strategies to increase pro-social skills that will help the youth stay in school and out of trouble by making better choices throughout the 13-week program. Youth and their families participate in engaging activities such as group discussions, role-playing, interactive games and self-reflection to address topics including dealing with anger, learning how to cope and practice self-control, engaging in problem solving and learning not to bully and how to prevent bullying.
