The rate is currently 178 out of 694 students between ages 9-11. It would be much better to be closer to 70 out of 694.This problem is a result of heightened cognitive, emotional, and physiological sensations. (Eugene R. Oetting, and Calvin C. Kemper, 1996). Executive Director, Teachers, Counselor, Books, Computer, Assessment tests, 3 classrooms, one main office, and post office space. Children ages 9-12 will participate in Cognitive Relaxation Coping Skills. It is a program that teaches students different ways to cope with their feelings of anger and teaches them how to relax during a stressful situation. The outputs will be a monthly count of how many children ages 9-12 sign up for and participate in the program. The percent of depression among youth will be lower for those participating in the program as compared to those not participating in the program. The percent levels of depression and anxiety in youth will be lower for those participating in the program as compared to those not participating in the program. The community problem, youth violent behavior, will decline from the current amount of 178 out of 694 students closer to the desired lower level of 70 out of 694 students.
