The Incredible Years are
research-based, proven effective programs for reducing
children's aggression and behavior problems and increasing
social competence at home and at school.
About the Incredible Years Programs
Our
award-winning
parent training, teacher training, and child social skills
training approaches have been selected by the U.S. Office of
Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention as an "exemplary"
best practice program and as a "Blueprints" program.
The program
was selected as a "Model" program by the Center for Substance
Abuse Prevention (CSAP). As such, the series has been subject to
numerous randomized control evaluations, evidenced excellent
effectiveness, and attained high overall ratings. The program
has been recommended by the American Psychological Division 12
Task force as a well-established treatment for children with
conduct problems.

social challenges as a teenager, clearly rests upon a caring
relationship between parent, teacher and child.

The
Incredible Years Parents, Teachers, and Children Training Series has two
long-range goals. The first goal is to develop comprehensive treatment
programs for young children with early onset conduct problems. The second
goal is the development of cost-effective, community-based, universal
prevention programs that all families and teachers of young children can use
to promote social competence and to prevent children from developing conduct
problems in the first place.
The purpose of the series is to prevent
delinquency, drug abuse, and violence. The short-term goals of
the series are to:
Reduce conduct problems in children:
Promote social, emotional, and
academic competence in children:
-
Increase children's social skills.
-
Increase children's understanding of feelings.
-
Increase children's conflict management skills and
decrease negative attributions.

In
1970, Carolyn Webster-Stratton flew directly from Africa to New
Haven to begin her education in a unique, new program at Yale School
of Nursing. She left a small African village where surgical
equipment was sterilized in a fire behind a mud hut hospital and
where nine out of every ten babies died from malnutrition before one
year of age.
