The Program is staffed by doctoral students from the Clinical and School Psychology Psy.D. programs at the Graduate School of Applied and Professional Psychology and the Clinical Psychology Ph.D. program at Rutgers University in New Jersey. As graduate student therapists facilitate prevention groups, training is vital to the successful implementation of the violence prevention program. Thus, a training manual was developed to provide a sense of structure, support and maintain prevention focus, impart fundamental information, and facilitate consistency of implementation of these violence prevention groups.
