description |
The "Dancing with Change" Programme (DWCP) is an ecosystemically informed substance abuse
intervention programme that was developed by the participants and myself with the aim of building
resilience towards substance abuse among youth. The DWCP was conducted in the school setting, with ten volunteer Grade 7 learners over a ten-week period for an hour a week. The learners' parents participated in an initial needs assessment and in a feedback session at the end of DWCP, together with the life skills
teacher and headmaster who observed and contributed to the process. An independent observer, present at each session, served to increase the dependability and confirmability of the evaluation findings. The DWCP appeared to have achieved its goals as defined by the participants. The evaluation findings are presented as a guide for people working in the field of adolescent substance abuse that synthesises best practice and lessons
learnt in the field. === Psychology === M.A.(Clinical Psychology) |
