Social skills training helps children think before acting, understand others, communicate effectively, and manage impulsiveness. Research shows that children with these skills are less likely to engage in crime and violence. Delivered through school programs, activities include role-playing, video demonstrations, delayed gratification exercises, and relaxation techniques. The Youth Endowment Fund are keen to share what role youth work plays in this type of approach and understand the overall strength of evidence and practice within social skills training approaches.
