What is it about?
A proactive intervention programme was devised and implemented aimed at changing attitudes towards physical and relational aggression through social skills education, within an Further Education College’s tutorial programme. The research involved the implementation of an intervention programme that consisted of three workshops based on social skills training, problem solving and anger management techniques, the development of empathic skills, education on the role of the bystander, and victimisation prevention strategies

Why is it important?
This study highlights the necessity for intervention programmes in educational environments in terms of the shaping of prosocial attitudes of students and to ensure the safeguarding of students.
Perspectives
I hope this article raises awareness of the need to put measures in place to help support adolescents represent themselves in an appropriate way. Through the teaching of social skills adolescents can communicate effectively and through the use of relaxation techniques learn to control and redirect their emotions.
