Coping Power & Incredible Years These interventions would be targeted to those Tier 2 students with mild to moderate behavior problems identified as needing support. The school-based mental health clinician would implement the Coping Power and Incredible Years interventions. Coping Power (designed for children in grades 3 – 5) and the Incredible Years (designed for children in PK – Grade 2) have integrated child and parent components to reduce aggressive behavior at home and school, improve children’s behavioral functioning in school, improve children’s social competence and increase children’s ability to resolve problems.
